Look back and thank God
Look forward and trust God Look around and serve God Look within and find God. 2 Pet 1:3 God gives us everything we need to succeed We all go trough tough times were we feel the grinding of
this world. It is so easy to fall prey or loose focus on what God has planned for us. Psalm 30 : 11 gives us a promise of hope it states " you have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackloth and girded me with gladness." Jesus takes care of us He gives us a reason to hope a reason to live and a reason to dance. Feel the music and dance with Him. We can have good intentions & still be disobedient. Procrastination is very deceptive Proverbs 3:27-28 instructs us not to do it. Often we do not see putting off things as disobedience because we tend to obey God. Best intentions however do not produce results. We need to ask God to help us to take timely action.
Jesus came to take up our grief, our sickness, our weakness etc we have no reason to feel down or to be disheartened. Dont reject His hand He also done it for you. Isaiah 53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs(sicknesses, weaknesses and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains[of punishment] yet we [ignoreantly] considered Him stricken, smitten and afficted by God [as if with leprosy] Matt 8:17
When you have nothing left but God, you have more than enough to start over again!! Jesus is all we need. In Him we have all the heavenly blessings Efesians 1:3 God is our vindicator see Job 19:25. As long as we behave properly towards others, even when they come against us. God will reward us for being steadfast towards Him.
Zachariah 9:12 says we are prisoners of hope. This means we refuse to stop hoping in God no matter the circumstances. True biblical hope is a solid foundation it is a springboard for our faith to take off from and to actually take hold of the promises of God.
Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD. May the abundant love that Jesus had for you when he died on the cross and the Spirit he left inside of you when He rose fill you, may it heal you, may it bring positive changes into your life may it bring you closer to God, may you always be at peace.
Always remember that even though we are not always faithful God is always faithful He can not deny Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13 (Amp) If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself. In our relationship with God we are assured of our belonging. Rom 8:15
In our relationship with Jesus we are assured of our worthiness Rom5:8 and John 6:37 In our relationship with the Holy Spirit we have a secure sense of competence as He is our Comforter Guide and source of strength John16:7 Jeremiah 31:25 for I will fully satisfy the weary soul and I will replenish every languishing and sorrowful person. Lord come and refresh and satisfy us. Give us strength and enable us through your Holy Spirit. Guide us in Your wisdom to stay on the path You prepared for us.
Sometimes we try to move a giant tree when God only expect us to plant a seed. You do what you can and God will do what you cant. Mat19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said, with men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.
