Finding the WAY OUT
Day 222 of Photo Inspirations — Finding the WAY OUT
Last week I heard a message directed to those who feel like they are at a dead end — hopeless — unable to find their way out of a situation or circumstance. It may be an addiction, a bad habit, an illegal or immoral activity, a bad attitude, or another destructive behavior. It may be something as severe as facing an arrest, a failed marriage, a bankruptcy, or a terminal illness. No matter what it is……there IS a WAY out!
That WAY out is spelled G-O-D. “And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide A WAY OUT so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13
Over the years, we encountered what seemed to be insurmountable circumstances — financially, relationally, physically. In the middle of those circumstances, we looked in so many places and to so many people to help us figure out OUR WAY OUT. But not until we made an appointment with THE WAY MAKER and totally gave Him the cares of it all — the frustrations, the worries, the hopelessness, the absolute relinguishing of OUR plans, OUR failures, OUR WAY of doing it and figuring it out…….did HE show us THE WAY OUT.
How often do we go to the phone before we go to THE THRONE? How many times do we complain AND REMAIN? How careless can when be when we insist on CARRYING the CARES and doing it OUR WAY instead of HIS WAY?
The WAY-MAKER, Almighty God, is on our side and He is everything — our Guide, Confidant, Counselor, Healer, Peace & Strength Provider, and Source of Supply. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to make an appointment with Him today for a one-on-one consult? I’m sure He will work you in between His other appointments. That’s just the way He rolls and the way He loves you and me so much.
“The Lord is My Shepherd……I shall NOT WANT.” Psalms 23:1
