Have you ever just had one of those weeks? That has been the way my last week has been. I cannot wait for the arrival of 2021. It seems like this year has just been full of bad news. This week it has really gotten to me. It’s Wednesday at 10:44 and I am just writing my Wednesday message. Usually I have it ready to go early in the week, but my frame of mind is just lousy.
So here is my message. It comes from “Jesus Always.” It was written for May 23rd.
“When the way just ahead of you seems too difficult, turn to Me and say: ‘I can’t, but we (You and I together) can.’ Acknowledging your inability to handle things on your own is a healthy dose of reality. However, this is only one part of the equation, because a sense of inadequacy by itself can be immobilizing. The most important part of the equation is recognizing my abiding presence with you and my desire to help you.
Pour out your heart to Me. Ask Me to carry your burdens and show you the way forward. Don’t waste energy worrying about things that are beyond your control. Instead use that energy to connect with Me. Seek My face continually. Be ready to follow whenever I lead, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.
Dare to see your inadequacy as a door to my presence. View your journey as an adventure that you share with Me. Remain in close communication with Me, enjoying My company as we journey together.”
In my weakness, I need to remember: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. I need to cast all of my cares on Him and trust Him to help me through these tough times.
The song that comes to mind is simple:
Jesus loves me
This I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong.
They are weak but He is strong.
He loves me. He loves you. He will carry us through.
