“Lord, save us! We are going to drown!” How many of you feel like you are going to drown with all that is going on and has gone on over the past year?
There is new life and there is death every single day in our world. Our days are numbered and no one but God knows what the number is.
Life will be discouraging at times, people will let you down at times, and things may not always turn out for the best—how you think they should. Each and every day it seems our world deteriorates a little more between health, economics, inequality, and the overall changes to the physical world around us.
Good morning to you too! I’m really sure this is what you wanted to wake up and read today because it sounds so encouraging. All kidding aside, you can choose to focus on all of these negative things and let them affect you internally.
But like I just said, it is a choice. Each day you have a choice to make about how you’re going to live and what you are going to let negatively affect you.
God sent his one and only Son to die for you so that you would have the opportunity to make the choice. He did not want you to be forced to follow Jesus. He wanted you to have the free will to make the choice to do so.
If you feel like you are going to drown in the storms of life right now, take a moment in prayer and ask God to help you refocus on Him. What has caused you to lose focus on God lately?
