Outnumbered

There are seasons of our life where we feel overwhelmed by our circumstances. We keep adding things to our “to do” list, and nothing is getting done. We have more bills than income. Everyone has their hand out, and it all seems like too much. We can’t seem to find any time for self care because everyone is pulling. We are outnumbered by our titles. We are outnumbered by our tasks. We are outnumbered by our sense of defeat. We can’t seem to find our way out. This is when we cry out. This is when we ask for help. This is when we find ourselves alone. There is help. There is hope. You are not alone.

Matthew 11:28-29 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Jericho

Every battle isn’t meant to be fought. Some just require trust and faith that God will show up on your behalf. Joshua followed very specific instructions from God. I can only imagine how stupid they must have felt walking around the walls of Jericho everyday. Nothing happened. Nothing changed. Then after six days passed, they were told to march around seven times, blow their horns and shout. I’m sure someone asked, “why are we marching instead of strategizing?” They were soldiers not musicians. This is not how battles are fought, and definitely not how they are won. Heed God’s specific instruction in your life. No matter how idiotic. No matter how much it doesn’t make sense. Trust God in all things. Watch the walls of Jericho fall in your life. The battle is not yours to fight, anyway.

What's Next?

Perspective is everything. Do you have an optimistic or pessimistic perspective? Is the glass half full or half empty? Are you hopeful or do you expect the worst? Do you feel that the game is rigged or do you have a fighting chance? What's next? Do you have plans? Are you moving forward or are you waiting on life to happen? Are you defeated or did you just lose one battle? What's next? Do you see God's favor or do you simply see another closed door? Do you understand God's providence and sovereignty or do you only see consequences? Is your God punishing you or preparing you? What's next? Is your latter greater? What's next? Are you looking forward to what's next or focusing on what's already happened? What's next? Are those dreadful words of damnation or declarations? What's next?
