JESUS IS OUR SAFETY NET IN LIFE

” IF YOU FEEL UNDER PRESSURE, YOUR STRENGTH IS TOO SMALL.” PROVERBS 24:10

” ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF A PERSON BELIEVES.” MARK 9:23

When all else fails we always come back to our Lord for the answers. Why do we use the Lord as our last resort? Why do we have to try to do things ourselves or depend on those around us for advice? Why isn’t Jesus the first place we go for our answers? Many times that reason lies in the pressures we receive from worldy outside forces. According to Proverbs 24:10 if we feel that pressure and even think about retreating under that pressure then we are not strong enough. Our faith needs to be strong. We need to build it to a level where we think of Jesus first in any and all situations. Because we are surrounded by the world it is easy to pay more attention to the thoughts and ideas of the world. We see those around us talking and acting worldy. Without strong faith it is easy to find ourselves drifting into those same ways and processes. It is important that we offset the world by staying in constant communication with the Lord. We should always stay in prayer but we are also able to visit with him as we would a friend. I find myself having conversations with him when problems arise. I don’t find myself bowing or kneeling but I do find myself talking with him. Does he honor those conversations? Absolutly he does. He wants to be first in our lives. Anything is possible if a person just believes. To believe we must have a solid faith that never waivers. To have a solid faith that never waivers we must stay plugged into our Lord at all times. Our God is a loving, caring and gracious God. He wants to protect us and get us through our times of struggles. He wants us to succeed in life and at the same time live our lives as testimonies to him. We can do that by staying surrounded by his word and the promises he has given us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
