Life has a way of backing us in a corner and we do not know what to do. It is in those times that we feel like everything is pressing in on us at the same time, and everywhere we look there is another problem or issue we have to face.
It is said that we should take at least ten thousand steps every day. To accomplish this task, it is suggested that we take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. We should be conscious of the steps we are taking.
If we are not careful, we can be quick to judge people based upon what we think is right or wrong. We can see the error of the ways of others, but very rarely do we first look at ourselves. They bring to Jesus a woman that is caught in the act of adultery.
The Lord blesses us every day with blessings that we don’t always realize. The Lord has been good to us and every day we should thank and praise Him for what He has done in our lives, we should also thank and praise Him for what He is going to do in our lives as well.
There are some people who will spend their entire lives trying to obtain things. They will do all they can to make sure that they have the tangible things in life that they think they need to be happy. We have seen long lines of people lining up to purchase the newest tech gadget or sneakers, just so they can have the latest and newest things.
Each of us has seen a movie where a culprit would be in a house and the police would be outside, and they would say to the culprits, “we have you surrounded come out with your hands up.”
There are many promises that people make to us, some they keep and some they break. We can give up on promises being fulfilled because they never seem to come to pass or work in our favor.
Every day we are surrounded by noise. Noise from radios, TVs, and people. From the time we wake up until the time we go to sleep we are surrounded by noise. Some of us cannot operate without noise in the background, because it causes us to concentrate more on what we are doing. However comforting noise may be, there comes a time when we all just need to find some quiet time and be silent.
Our days can become hectic before we know it. We can wake up in the morning and hit the ground running and not even realize that we have not stopped for lunch or anything else. No matter how busy our days may be, we should always take a moment to pause and be still and remember that God is with us.
