OVERCOMING OBSTACLES (from my son Brad)

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES   Do you ever feel like there's just too many or too high obstacles to overcome in order to get through the troubles in life?   In Matthew 19:26, it states "With man this is impossible, but with God ALL things are possible." Let us not forget that any obstacle we may encounter in our lives, we must overcome them with the LORD and not on our own. God is always there by our side and will give us the strength no matter what the endeavor. Remember, God is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE!!!   I'm reminded of a song that states: "When everything falls apart, your arms hold me together.. When everything falls apart, your the only hope for this heart.. When everything falls apart and my strength is gone, I find you mighty and strong.. You keep holding on!!"   God has said "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 13: 5&6. God is always there to be our helping hand in overcoming our obstacles. Let Him lead you in your life to do something Heavenly because He has a will for us all.   God bless!!!

Giving up......

Has the thought of giving up ever crossed your mind?

Have you struggled with a situation to a point that it seemed you couldn't go any further?

Well, here's some good news.....GIVE UP!!!!

It's not what you think, I'm not talking about giving up on life or even your walk with God. I'm talking about giving it up "TO" HIM!!!!

Matthew 11:30 says, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Read Matt 11:29-30 in context)

We tend to try and "make" things happen instead of letting God direct us or living in HIS Will.

When we "GIVE UP" and let God take control things seem to work out a lot smoother.

Now, don't expect it to work out the way "you" had dreamed it would, because God works in mysterious ways and all things work together for the good of those that love HIM.

Be blessed and know that Giving Up can have a positive ending.......
