Perspective

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

- Psalms 3:5-6, NIV

It’s easy to lose perspective of life’s ups and downs when you think you’re going at it alone and the walls of life appear to be caving in. However, know that when you walk with Jesus, you never walk alone. Understand that while today doesn’t look quite the way you imagined it would, it certainly doesn’t look the way it should. As you continue your walk in Christ note that you have not earned day, nor can afford “this” day…much less deserve the things in and around it; yet the Lord still got you up today. From a Christian’s perspective that ought to be a moment of praise realizing that you woke up with all the fingers and toes you went to bed with. Add that your blood is still flowing and lungs still breathing, that’s quite a start to a day that you probably saw going differently. However, the truth of the matter is that if not for Christ’s blood, this day might not look anything like it does…much less even happen. So today it’s all about embracing the victory you have in Jesus believing until the end that you’ll never walk alone as long as your walk is in Christ Jesus...He will sustain you! How’s that for perspective?

BE BLESSED!
