Can't Live a Day

"5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah" (Psalms 62:5-8). I have felt my need and my inadequacy very deeply of late. The pressures of various things in my life are taking a toll on my resources. There are times when a 24 hour day just seems like a single tick of the clock with no time to accomplish anything. It is a very frustrating time in many ways. It's almost like I can't get out of my own way to get things rolling. Amid all the demands and disappointments I know that God is in control. But it helps to know that the sad and frustrating moments are all designed for my own good. The Bible teaches that trials build patience, character and faith.

"Pour out your heart before Him;" He wants to share our joys and wants us to come to Him with our broken, shattered hearts. Are you in a situation whereby you are finding it difficult to live through even a day? I want to assure you that God is always there with open arms to help you. God wants to be the One whom we can fully trust with our whole life, both in good and bad times. Sometimes, He sends people into our lives to help us. But we should recognize the source of that help as coming from God and thank Him for the assistance.

Never feel like you can't take one more thing to Jesus because He'll turn you away. The Master knows our hearts. He knows that our frames are made of the dust of the ground. He knows how very frail we are. He is ready with open arms to hold us up when we quit trying to run the race in our own strength. In all situations, the Lord has promised to be by our side to carry us through the ups and downs of life. If we allow Him, He will build our faith to completely trust in Him at all times.
