Death Where Is Thy Sting?

Matthew 5:4 – “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

     As inevitable as life itself, grief happens in our midst.  Whether we are grieved by the loss of a loved one; distraught by the loss of a job; relationship or opportunity; or saddened over lost potential, enthusiasm, hope, or courage; mourning will be comforted.  Today’s scripture tells us that mourning over our past sins, regrets, hesitations or disobedience will be comforted when the burden of sin is lifted.  We must focus on the renewing of our situation through the rejuvenation provided by the redeeming blood of Christ.  No matter what the obstacle, challenge, difficulty or loss, when we trust Jesus and believe on his word; we will find solace and peace. 
        God knows our beginning and our end and he places us in situations through which we glorify him by our actions.  If you are experiencing any type of loss concentrate on the comfort that shall come from the renewing of your spirit.  The joy that awaits is indescribable and the peace is unsearchable.  Cry now if you must; cleanse and let go – then put your energies into walking with God, following his commandments and watch as he uplifts your heart.


    Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a power-packed GREAT day! Be blessed – Dr. JoAnn
