Emotions are high.
Looking around us and throughout the world there are so many things going on that impact our lives. Seriously. They might not impact our house or the weather around our house, but they impact our emotions, sway our thinking and even make us stop and think.
There are a few topics that continue to run through my mind, and what I know and continue to share is that God will meet our needs. He may use one of many different ways to do it. I choose to trust Him. What I need to do is encourage those who are following God to be faithful.
Be faithful in your time with God, daily. Be faithful to the people God has put in your sphere of influence, all of them. Be faithful with the resources you have been given, be generous and support your church.
Turn to another side. The pandemic continues to rattle us and has many suffering. The political world is almost turned upside down with everyone pitted against each other. Louisiana has been wrecked by another hurricane. And so much more.
Look at the map, the weather map, and recently our land has been battered with a huge storm. There have been earthquakes, of enormous fires and so much more. There aren’t many answers.
But we have a big God. Even when our emotions are high.
Pray. Be generous. Serve well. Encourage your pastor and others.
Job 4:3 NLT
In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NLT
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.
NOTE: much of this devotion was first shared in August 2018 and remains true today.
