There is no doubt that The Lord loves us. Every day He shows His love for in a variety of ways. Even when we do not realize it, God’s love is surrounding and keeping us. If it had not been for His love our lives would be in a downward spiral.
We all have been faced with some daunting things in our lives. Some of them we were able to conquer and some were too large for us even to attempt in our own strength. When we are faced with those mountainous moments, we cannot allow the enormity of the mountain to keep us from facing the challenge. In those moments of uncertainty, fear, or doubt, we must remember that what we need to conquer the moment, we already have with God on our side.
It can be frustrating calling someone when you really need them and they do not answer. Hours can go by before they call you back and it feels like an eternity, but we are relieved when they finally answer. We can also have that feeling of abandonment when we pray and it seems like God does not hear us or He does not want to answer us. It can feel like forever is passing without and answer from God.
A young child will always try to get their way, and they will do this by making sure that they ask the right parent for what they want. Going to the right parent will increase their odds of getting what they are asking for.
There are times on this journey that no matter how much we want to go in the direction that The Lord is leading us, we end up going our own way. There are times when we think we know what we are doing because we have done it so many times before, and we fail to listen or ask The Lord for directions.
A lot can happen in a single day. We face multiple circumstances and situations in just a single hour, and no matter what is that we face, we must remember that God is there for us. There is not a situation that we go through that we should not praise God.
Each of us has walked down the wrong path in life. As we were walking down the path, we were looking for ways out and how to change our direction. As we journey on the road of life there are many paths that lead to many places, and each of us should desire to be on the right path at the right time for our lives.
It is a great feeling when we pray and God answers us almost immediately. There are times however when we prayed and prayed and it is as if God does not hear us or He is not answering us. It is in the times when we are at a height of a crises and God is silent.
The song writer penned he words, “What the world needs now is love sweet love, that’s the only thing that there’s much too little of.” These words are necessary in the times we are living. We seem to hear more bad news that we do good. It is essential as Christians that we live our lives fulfilling the commandments of God. It is even more essential that we live out the greatest of the commandments every day, and that is to love.
