HELLO SHANSHINE! ☼ GOODBYE

Monday, April 25, 2011

You have your individual problems that are very real, sometimes painful, sometimes overwhelming. At the same time you have to think for your family, your business, your school, your long term future.

If we focus too much on the micro, we don’t see all that God has for us. If we just dream for the future and the mega picture, we may stumble and fall over the micro — our personal issues.

Sometimes the pressure seems heavy, trying to work through the micro and the mega at the same time! What to do at times like this?

Pray, pray, pray. This is the most necessary task of the Christian life. It is also the most difficult. The devil wants to distract and discourage you from praying. You are powerful when you pray.

Play. Heavenly Father delights in watching His children at play, just like earthly parents delight in watching the children at play. Play says you are enjoying being in His presence, that you feel secure, that you just enjoy being who you are. Don’t take yourself so seriously. You will make mistakes- lots of them. I surely have! We have not emphasized enough the joys of recreation, fun, humor. God loves it when we enjoy life — He’s the one who gave us life!

Praise. The battleground is our mind. Many feel like just giving in and giving up. When you praise, you are not declaring there is no problem, you are declaring God is in charge of the problem. Remember, a bird sings because he has a song, not because he has no problems. We have a song—sing it!

Needing Jesus

through twenty-six summers

and twenty-six winters

i’ve laughed in the springtime

i’ve cried in the rain

though i’ve questioned the meaning

of some of life’s seasons

it’s true that they’ve left me holding on

tighter to You
