As we open our eyes and get going about our business today, I am reminded to never forget to call upon the Lord for guidance and wisdom.
It's important to realize that no matter what we are facing on this day and other days, we need to understand that we are not alone and we are just walking through a particular situation. We don't have to stop and dwell in the tough times. They are only temporary.
Don't allow fear to paralyze us into immobility in the middle of 'the valley of the shadow of death'. God is there walking with us hand in hand. He is strengthening us. He is lifting us. He is making a way for us where our eyes and minds say there is no way. He is lining up people and situations to bring us out of that tough place into a place of overcoming and victory.
We need to put 2:Timothy 1:17 (New Living Translation) deep in our heart and stand on it when the mountains seem too talk to climb, when there looks like there is no hope, no answer, no way out or up.
The passage reads: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
Speak life and peace when you are going though a rough stretch in your walk, Call on your faith to be strengthen. Rise up hope in situations where it looks like there is not hope. Speak victory. Speak the Word. Speak the power that we have in the name of Jesus to the situation. Command it – don't ask it – command it to leave.
I'm also reminded that we can glean much good life advice and wisdom from a ship.
A ship is designed to take us places. So if our friendships, companionships, relationships, partnerships are not taking us anywhere that is pleasing to God, then we should abandon ship.
Be blessed.
