Too often we think that life is what we make it, live on our own terms. It is the bread that we make and eat. They way we dress, how we feel, how we think and interact with others can cause some of us to have a God Complex. With this mindset, we re in for some serious trouble. We are not even in control our next breath, and without the Lord's mercy and grace, we will miss it.
In 2020, after a bout with Pneumonia, I came down with Covid 19. Not being able to catch your breath is nothing to smile about. For six months I lived with a oxygen machine. Situations like this quickly remind you that our plans, selfishness or acts of indifference or disobediance are not what life is made of.You are soon reminded that if God doesn't stp in and do it for you, it won't be done.
No amount of money, fine cars, or beautiful homes or anything else matters, only God and what He says does.In Mark 9:23 Jesus says that if you can believe, With Him all things are possible to him who believes. Believe that God is who he says He is. Believe that by His stripes you are healed. Believe that He loves you and that you are the apple of His eye. It's in His word.
This relationship that we have with Him is ongoing. As we draw closer to Him, He draws cloer to us and we stop eating the bread of idleness and start walking in faith. Fear and doubt begin to fade away. Growing in faith is not easy, but it is rewarding. times will get hard and trilas will come, but we have to keep leaning on the Lord and keep moving forward.
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn't promised. today is all we have and life changes in the blink of an eye. But the word of God never changes, it is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Let's commit to making it a great run with God's help.
God bless,
Pamyla
