Going to be a brighter day....

I'm sure it's safe to say that everyone of us at some point in our life have struggled with feelings of insecurities and other horrible thoughts, if you haven't WOW can you tell how you've done that. I have struggled for years with my weight and with just feeling like I'm not worth alot. So recently I have had several things knock me to the ground with my feelings and I have been fighting and praying my way out of that area.

I know that as a child of God I completely trust and rely on my Savior Jesus Christ. So when feelings of insecurity come how do we handle it. For me I turn on the radio or my mp3 player and look for a song to lift my spirits. So recently when I was having a moment this song begin to play, it ministered to me so much. I am so thankful that no matter what we go through and no matter what we face in life there is going to be a brighter day.

Through Christ we can always have a brighter day. I realize that life is not always going to be roses, but I do know that as it says in Philippians 4:19 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I also love what it says in Luke 18:27 - I learned this when I was in Honduras so I learned it first in Spanish which says "Lo que es imposible para los hombres es posible para Dios" which translated says "What it impossible for man is possible for God!"

So through Christ we can have brighter days!

Giants.....they fall

So through all the battles that I feel like I have been going through lately I have came across a song that has really ministered to me. It is one of my uncles Charles favorite songs it’s called “Giants” and I love listening to that song because it lets me know that even though I am going through these trials those “Giants” the bigger they are the harder they are going to fall under the power of God.

I know that in life it may seem so easy to just feel like when things come our way that we can’t handle to just give up and run away. That’s where I have to come to realize lately that I don’t need to run away. I need to just cast my burdens at the feet of Jesus. I need to hide myself in the cross. I need to open my eyes and realize that the “giants” that are in front of me are nothing compared to the Christ I serve who is protecting me!

I love the scripture in Romans that says, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us who can be against us? It is true with God being for us we have no one that can be against us. No “giant” is big enough to defeat our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No “giant” is a “giant” at all with God on our side.

I think about David versus Goliath – Goliath yes he was gigantic but David had the Lord on his side so one tiny smooth stone in his hands was far greater than any weapon that Goliath could have potentially had. That’s why I think of it this way – no matter what trial or test I go through I know that if I stand on God’s Holy Word and if I maintain an open line of communication through prayer and reading God’s Word, that no weapon formed against me is going to prosper and I AM more than a conqueror. (Can I get a witness!)

So I must say if you are going through a battle, struggling through a trial, rest in knowing that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and soon those Giants are going to come down and remember that the bigger they are the harder they will fall.

Be Blessed
