Crisis

It is inevitable.
There will be a day...


When you find yourself in what feels like an unbearable crisis...
Job loss.
Death of a loved one.
Grief.
Marital strife.
Divorce.
Untreatable disease.
Betrayal.
Infertility.
Heart break.
Addiction.


The list has no end.


There are days when I personally feel like I'm in a crisis & won't make it through the day because I was up all night with a sick baby... As the days pass, and health is restored, I laugh at myself & how pressed down I get in these moments. Worn out, yes. Exhausted, yes. But in a crisis? No. Undoubtedly chronic fatigue could lead to crisis...but that's not what I'm talking about...


And I'm reminded that my daily testing & trials are just that... Testing. Trials.
There are not a crisis. It's just every day life stuff.


However, if we are not remaining in Christ, they just very well may feel like crisis as our "smallness" cannot comprehend the "greatness" of what God is intending to do in our lives daily.




John 15:4
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.


Not often enough do I lean on the strength of the arm of the Lord & allow Him to encourage me as only He can & work through my feebleness.


However...


We will have trouble. Crisis.


John 16:33
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”


But even in the midst of what seems like crushing crisis, Jesus Christ, the One who is peace, will give you peace that surpasses ALL understanding. He will see you through. He will be with you. Always.




Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 28:20
...Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


Trials. Temptations. Testing.
Crisis.


Wherever you find yourself today, you are not alone.
I believe with my WHOLE heart that truly, truly, truly...Nothing is too difficult with God. He will be found faithful.


Luke 1:37
For nothing is impossible with God.
