Wade with the Lord.




Psalms 119: 116-117 "Help me God, as you promised, so that I may live. Do not turn my hope into disappointment. Hold me, and I will be safe, and I will always respect your laws."

How often do we feel we are fighting a battle we will never win? How often do we grow weary? How often do we fail to put faith in our Father? How many times do we wade through the trials of this life without asking for help? It is time to face the truth. We are all wading through deep waters. We all have high mountains that we have to climb. We all come across deep valleys that must be walk through. Life is not an easy journey. But that doesn't mean we have to lose hope. God has called us into His arms. He has gone to prepare a place for us. And, here on this earth, we can still find a home in His presence. He has given us the ultimate sacrifice and all He asks from us is that we keep trying -- keep pressing on, to seek Him, to know Him, to believe in Him. If we continue to put our faith in Jesus, then we will soon discover that the waters start to shallow, the mountains turn into hills, and the valleys begin to plateau. Trials can break us, but they can always strengthen us. Often they do both, forcing us to our knees in order that God can help us up again -- with renewed purpose and hope. We are all on a journey. None of us have to travel it alone. God loves you. God wants to protect you. God is fighting the battle with you, for you.

Be encouraged. May you all have a blessed week.

So thankful that He fights for us and that He is faithful even when we are not.

Thanks for the encouragement this morning:)
