Scriptures....God is Able

So many times, we are just exhausted.  Overwhelmed.  We just feel like we can't get our head above water. And we look around and everyone else is smiling, laughing, life is good for them...why not me? We know that is not really the truth.  That others are struggling as well.  That if we were to sit down with them and ask them.....they would say, if they were honest, that they feel the same way.

So here we are, on Palm Sunday.  In recognition of a God who came to earth for us.  A King who rode to his ultimate death on a donkey.  He came to serve in order to give us life. He has gone through it all. And he knows all that we go through.  He has counted every hair on our head.  So when you are down and out.  Please recognize, that you are human.  You are not the only one struggling.  You cannot get out of your pit by yourself. Don't try.  If you are a Christian, look to Jesus and hold on tight.  He is able...let Him pull you out.

If you have not yet put your faith in Christ.  Will you take a leap and try?  If you try and you decide it is not for you, what have you lost? Even most people will give vitamins a solid 3 months to see if it will work.  If you simply acknowledge that you have made mistakes and that you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, what have you gained, but eternal life?  I'd say eternity is worth going in on at least a 3 month trial, yes?

So our current topic is GOD IS ABLE.  May you see through these scriptures that the God you have chosen, the one and only God, Jesus Christ our Lord, is able.  You may not be able to handle what you are going through.....but with God, all things are possible.
