Courage Or Fear?

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days


Hey heart! Just trust God for the outcome of whatever it is that has you tied in knots today. It could be relationships, finances, health, family, that next huge hurdle or that looming mountain to climb! Maybe you find yourself in the valley of lowest of lows today and to pull up those socks to get moving is just too much and takes too much effort!! Going back to bed sounds so easy and is so much easier than facing the day. Well, beautiful soul ~ Know that God has you in the palm of His hand and is working it out and even though you don’t see it or feel, just believe it and find your peace in that thought. Don’t expect too much of yourself today but try just a step forward ~ that’s all ~ just a step ~ just a small one, with your hand firmly grasping the Lord’s hand and your heart focused on His grace for you! He’ll sustain you and keep you even during the difficult moments of today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Focus on Christ not your problem, not the storm, and watch for His miracles to unfold.

Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me.”

Matthew 14: 25 – 33

“Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Depression

DSC_0057

For your feelings of sadness or depression remember some of our great Bible heroes, and spiritual leaders had to deal with the dark, downside and heaviness of heart for one reason or another. Moses, Elijah, David and Job, just to name a few, questioned God as they suffered feelings of inadequacies, some tainted with guilt as they experienced consequences of bad choices! Take heart friends, God didn’t leave them alone but He came to them with compassion overload, to lift them out of their despair and mend their brokenness. He desired to use them in spite of weaknesses. And He did! His desire is to do the same for you! He’s the healer of broken hearts and the mender of broken spirits. He’s the lifter of heads and our shield of protection! Rely on Him and enter a new year with renewed hope!

Psalm 3:3
“But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.”

Psalm 34:18, 19
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.”
