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 and it is best that we prepare to respond and not to react.
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 daily
routines that we cannot avoid? 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. If God
gives the direction you truly will not go wrong; some detours may be necessary
but stay the course and your destination will still be in sight.
Every day is a good day; it
is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Don’t be distracted – stay focused on your
purpose! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
