Present In Hard Times

I’ve experienced my share of hard times and suffering. I know that there are those who’ve had a harder time and experienced more suffering than I have. It seems no matter how hard the road facing me, there are others who have to face even harder circumstances. I am still learning to lean upon the Lord in every circumstance – especially the hard ones. He wants me to lean on Him even in good circumstances. I’m learning to be thankful no matter my circumstances or whatever situation I find myself in.

Isaiah lays out some promises for Israel – a Redeemer is coming. Restoration is going to happen because The Lord chose them. He chooses me too! Check this out….

¹ But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.
    O Israel, the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
    I have called you by name; you are mine.
² When you go through deep waters,
    I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
    you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
    you will not be burned up;
    the flames will not consume you.
³ For I am the Lord, your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

You have been chosen to know me, believe in me,
    and understand that I alone am God.
There is no other God—
    there never has been, and there never will be.
¹¹ I, yes I, am the Lord,
    and there is no other Savior. (Isaiah 43:1-3a; 10b-11NLT)

I want to walk in confidence that He is with me every moment of every day.

I want to reaffirm my commitment to follow the Lord every day.

He invites me to come before Him empty of my gifts and abilities. He is beyond amazing!

O Come To The Altarby Elevation Worship.

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Oh what a savior
Isn’t He wonderful?
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing Hallelujah, Christ is risen

Pressing On!
