It seems like someone is always saying something like that doesn't it? It's like a maxim that every church member knows, or at least pretends to know. But in all honesty it's very real. Some people who are reading this, have read my posts before and some people haven't. For some reason they stumbled along this completely random blog created by the weirdo that I am. I accept that. And I accept the fact that no matter how cliche this saying is, it's truth. I have a friend who is going through a lot of things and this is what I am trying to do to encourage him, tell him my experiences and help him pick himself back off the ground. I can only pray it works because, no matter how much you want to help someone, if they don't want it, they're not going to get it. And even though you don't want to the best thing you can do for some people is to let them fall, let them hit rock bottom because the only person that can truly pick themselves up from that is them. God makes it plain in His Word that we, as Christians, will suffer but that suffering will be nothing in comparison to the wonder coming after. He also says that if we want out we have to cry out. Some people think that pouting is going to change the situation, that won't do. You have to come to God broken, contrite, and willing to truly hear and do what He tells you to do.
Romans 8:18 (KJV)
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Psalm 34:6 (KJV)
"This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles."
No matter what we are going through we have to be willing to cry out to God with the authority He gave is, the authority we should be walking in every day and ask Him to save us.
Here are two songs that I love for some inspiration:
Shout out to "Knights for Christ" for letting me use their shirt as my image for this post.
