Psalm 34:19 (TLB) – “The good
man does not escape all troubles—he has them too. But the Lord helps him in
each and every one.”
Today’s message is short, sweet and to
the point….good people sometimes fail. Do
not beat up on yourself when things do not go exactly as you had planned it out
in your mind. It’s not a punishment or an
unusual case of Karma; it is what it is.
No one can escape all of their troubles and avoid conflicts forever. At some point in time we all will fall short
and need divine intervention and re-instatement. It is not hard to think back over our lives and
delineate areas we thought were ‘sealed with a kiss’; only to discover that at
best the event, circumstance or activity was just the precursor to a lesson
learned. The scripture for today reminds
us that no matter how well we seem to be making it; life might throw us a curve
ball. As the lyrics from the old Main Ingredient song state- "Everybody Plays the Fool Sometimes- there's no exception to the rule!"
The best means for countering an attack
is to ward it off in the first place, avoid all activities that can be used to set
us up to fail. But what about our daily
routines that we must do? Ask God to guide you into which areas; what people;
which circumstances are best suited for the course he has laid out for you to
complete. Go about it diligently and if
things do go in a different direction, remember that God is always here to
assist in any way possible. Keep your head up and your shoulders back.
Every day is a good day; it
is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Be blessed!. Dr. JoAnn
