Get Back Up!!!!!!

Get Back Up!
Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

When you have fallen down in your journey of life due trials of affliction, failings of sinful choices, or just a season of being overwhelmed, or depressed there is only one thing to do if you are a child of God. GET BACK UP! Not by pulling up your own bootstraps but through total dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ who hears your cry and will pull you up from the pit and miry clay as the Psalmist wrote in chapter 40.

Need help? First go to the Lord! Next seek counsel, prayer and support from a fellow believer or pastor who loves you and wants to see you GET BACK UP!

Overwhelmed? Go to the Rock!

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Overwhelmed!  This is probable the best word that I could think of to describe the season of Pastoral Ministry that I have been through. I am so thankful that Psalms 61 is in the Bible which tells us that when our heart is overwhelmed we are to go to the Rock that is higher then we are.

PSALM 61

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trusta in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations. 7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Beloved you must always remember that no matter your circumstances are in life, when you are overwhelmed Jesus is waiting to be your ROCK!
