September 29 HIS Abundant Promises! Psalm 138:7
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.” (Psalm 138:7)
Wow! It would be amazing if we were promised a “Rose Garden” existence, where we would never experience troubles or challenges in our lives! How great would it be to travel through this life carefree and never have a worry or difficulty? Well, Heads up! This is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! God has not promised a “trouble-free” existence; however, He has promised that He would be with us, every step, along this journey of life! He has promised that He would be with us, walking beside of us, but He has not promised to deliver us from a “Trouble-Free” life! Recently, this “Pillsbury Doughboy Pastor” has been faced with some difficult and challenging circumstances that have caused me to stop and re-evaluate my path forward. A beautiful lady, just a few days ago, shared with me the obstacles and difficulties that she was facing, and she was enduring with faith and determination, and I felt so ashamed for my “Whining” about my little issues, so I stopped, dropped and asked my God to forgive me for my doubts and my failures to claim His Abundant Promises! In the midst of every challenge of this life, God’s unshakeable promise of God to Save, Sustain, and to Maintain us, is fully active and alive! We must claim His Promise and live it every day! When you face difficult times, and you will, remember the promise of God! “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.” God will never abandon you! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
