With God all things are possible

How do we move from pain to PRAISE? You journey through your insecurity past your uncertainty and beyond your doubt. You make a conscious decision to trust God, period!
The psalmist transitions from anxiety about God's absence to adoration of His eternal presence. What changed?
The writer reminds us of the frailty of life. In light of death's certainty, we are challenged to make life matter regardless of the circumstances we encounter. His presence never changes, but sometimes our perspective must change.
Our perspective is even greater in light of the life, death , burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 15 that even death was defeated on Calvary's cross.
What does this mean for us? Though life is frail, GOD IS FAITHFUL! We can TRUST Him on the journey through pain to PRAISE. Remember, God is at work in you for your good and His glory , but your faith work with Him is an ONGOING JOURNEY. Ask God to give you faith for the journey today!
Father, guide me today, to do all things to bring glory and honor to You. AMEN
Psalms 89: 47-48 Remember how short my time is; for what futility have You created all the children of men? What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave?
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
HAVE A VERY BLESSED MONDAY, MAY YOU FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD'S HAND EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY BREATH. AMEN

I really need this exact post sometimes! As much as I try to follow God and hand him all of my problems, I let my heart continue to worry and I really need to just have faith. Thank you
