My Thoughts Today

I am what I think I am. If I believe that there is no hope, that life has no meaning and that things just will not work, because why would anything good happen to me.

You know what I am doing? I am giving into the negativity and self pity, I am getting absorbed into my own feelings and insecurities. If I focus on all of that negativity soon, I become lost and unable to see what is right there in front of me. I have created the storm that I am lost in. It is bad enough going through storms in life, the highs and lows of each day, but when I create a storm I am giving into the feelings that there is no hope, I am giving into the doubts, the fears that I am suppose to be free of.

The Bible talks about this very thing, it teaches me how to walk free from it, but why do I not use it? Is it because it is to easy? No, it is just the opposite, it is because giving into the feelings that are part of my existence is easier then looking for the Son. It is so much easier to lay down and die then stand up and fight. When we walk as a Christian we are to stand and fight the good fight, we are to run a good race, not giving in, not comparing ourselves to others. God has me right where He wants me, if I look at others, I can say there are faster runners out there or they are better then me, they look better, etc. I am called to allow God, surrender those to Him and with Him anything is possible. When I give into those feelings, I am putting God in a box and saying my problems are to big for Him, but guess what there is nothing to big for God.


Romans 5:3 "More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,"
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."

His way and not mine, His thoughts and not mine, I will struggle, but when I do I need to focus on Him, with Him all things are possible.
