I Will….No Matter What!
This is the day the Lord has. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24
I mentioned the above verse at the end of yesterday's service and felt led to post it here today. Life is not always fair. Sometimes bad things happen even to godly people. Just because we are followers of God doesn't mean we are not going to face difficult times. Things that we don't understand. Bad doctor reports. Bad news from the job front, and so forth. But just because something "bad" happens, doesn't mean that we are forgotten or forsaken. It's just life. God has not changed and He never will. What we go through has the potential to make us greater and stronger. It has the potential to better us for Gods service and to reach others. In the above verse, the psalmist says that God made today. In other words, everyday that I have is a gift from God, and no matter what I face today, I must be determined to rejoice and be glad. I can't let lifes circumstances talk me out of who God is. I can't let bad things convince me that God is bad. When I make the decision to rejoice and be glad no matter what, I become an overcomer. Perhaps life has thrown you a curve lately. I know that it hurts and that it would be easier to sulk, but God is still in control and this is not the end. Who will you trust?the God who gave this day to you as gift or the one who brought the bad news.......STEP Forward!
