FEELING OVERWHELMED?

Me too!!! But that’s where a relationship with God comes sweetly in. Like this morning, my hubby asked me for some information, and after trying so hard to get it for him on my phone, it didn’t work, and I had to access it from my computer. Next to my laptop was a book on Faithfulness by Robert Strand, and I decided to open it. I found the perfect message from God for us all who are feeling overwhelmed today:

“GOD’S PROMISE OF SUPPORT

Have you ever been faced with a task, project, or responsibility that seemed beyond your strength and ability? Something that simply was overwhelming and too massive to deal with alone? Sure, haven’t we all at some time been confronted with obstacles we didn’t know how to handle?

Stop and think with me about the faithfulness of God and how unchanging He is… You see, He is marked by total faithfulness and perfection. Now, this is the God who has promised His help and faithfulness to all kinds of people in all kinds of situations.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).””

This was no coincidence that He had me to find that message. God is pretty talkative! We’re not going through life alone! Our God is faithful! As much as I tried to get that info for hubby on my phone, even had to leave my running park close to my God tree to get it (trying to be the faithful on-the-ball wife to the better than best husband!) God led me directly to that book to remind me that all the burdens that are currently stressing me, that He is with me to support and help me (and you too!!!). The joy of the Lord is our strength to tackle whatever life throws our way! Amen!

It’s just for us to show up in every moment having constant conversations with God about what He would have us do, what he would have us say, and where He would have us go. Your girl here is learning to lean on Him more than ever. When the going gets tough, I run closer to God. No shame in my game. I just take life one step at a time, one moment at a time, holding God’s hand (super tight!) and asking for His guidance. I then do my best to manly, courageously, and bravely handle whatever He asks of me, and I leave the rest with Him. That’s faith, baby!

“So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” – Hebrews 10:23

Relax and be still… we’re rolling with God!
