PRAISE HIM ANYWAY
“I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall
continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble
shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt
his name together.”
Psalm 34: 1 – 3
King James Version
I have been having computer problems for several weeks. Yesterday, I worked
seventeen hours in a row trying to resolve the issue. It still has not been
resolved. I have lost people on my mailing list, some of my emails have
disappeared and I am having extreme difficulty in backing up my files or putting
them back on the computer.
My brother-in-law called me last night and as I answered the telephone, I
realized that my greeting did not sound as cheerful and enthusiastic as usual.
Then it dawned on me that I was allowing satan to get control of my emotions.
After I hung up the telephone, I immediately starting thanking and praising
Jesus for His amazing love and mercy. I felt a lot better and had peace once
again in my heart. I still have the same computer problems but I have given them
to Jesus which I should have done in the first place.
I don’t know what crises you are facing today, but this one thing I know, our
Saviour can restore peace from chaos. Whether you are enduring the devastation
of divorce, loneliness, doubts or financial difficulties, Jesus is the restorer
and solution for everything. Take your heartaches and burdens to Jesus and allow
Him to roll them away from your heart.
