The End of the Rope!



Psalm 143:7-10 (The Message)


7-10. Hurry with your answer, God!
I'm nearly at the end of my rope.
Don't turn away; don't ignore me!
That would be certain death.
If you wake me each morning with the sound of your loving voice,
I'll go to sleep each night trusting in you.
Point out the road I must travel;
I'm all ears, all eyes before you.
Save me from my enemies, God—
you're my only hope!
Teach me how to live to please you,
because you're my God.
Lead me by your blessed Spirit
into cleared and level pastureland.

Do you know anyone at the end of their rope? Needing an answer from God yesterday and yet nothing is happening? Oh my, I sure do. Whether it is the economy, job loss, sickness, you name it, it is everywhere! People are in panic mode! So what are we to do? nothing except go to God on our hands and knees and cry out for help. He is our only hope, we can't do it! Maybe that is why things have to get in such a state of despair sometimes because we think we can fix everything. Of course we can't fix it, it is bigger than we are. When we realize the truth of "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and without Him we can't, then we are on our way to victory! Today lets just pray for the Holy Spirit to lead us and then lets go to sleep tonight trusting God.I am praying for you, please pray for me to! Be blessed this Lords Day!

When our faith and trust is in HIM we will be taken care of and provided for. He does not abandon HIS OWN. Praise God for His faithfulness.

Not only do I lean on Hebrews 13:5 where God promised us He will never leave us nor forsake us, I heavily lean on Philippians 4:13. So, thank you so much for reminding me I'm never alone nor can I do it all alone. I need my Savior in my life.

God bless you today and every day!

God is faithful to fulfill all His promises. he promised to provide us everything we need and more if we obey and trust Him. in this time of need (for all of us) let's hold on to God and believe He will come through for us because He will. praying for and with you.
