May 9 A POWERFUL FACT Hebrews 13:5
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)
Wow! There are days when it seems that my Lord is so far away! “Is He hearing my prayers?” Situations, challenges, difficulties, and stress combine to create an illusion that God is so distant and that He has forgotten you! Unfortunately, our own emotions and thoughts will betray us, and we perceive that God is out there, but so far away! THIS PERCEPTION IS NOT TRUE! The Bible assures us that our God is as close as He has ever been! It is our thoughts and emotions and reactions to the negative influences that create the idea that God has forsaken us! Guess What? That is correct! LIFE IS NOT GOING TO GO OUR WAY, EVERY DAY AND IN EVERY SITUATION, AND WE FIND OURSELVES QUESTIONING GOD AND CLOSE TO GIVING UP ON HIM! Regardless of the challenges, please REMEMBER… “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” This is a PROMISE, DIRECTLY FROM OUR GOD! HE IS FAITHFUL AND HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US! When I am going through the trials of life, and I begin to feel a sense of loneliness, I immediately STOP, DROP, and PRAY! I am CLAIMING HIS PROMISE, and I AM EXERCISING HIS FAITHFULNESS TO ME! You will face challenges, difficulties, and drama, but be of “Good Cheer,” HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
