The Word of the Lord

"WHERE ARE YOU"

by Helen K. Moore

Are you in the pits of life? Are you depressed, angry, unforgiving, lonely, forsaken, feel as if the whole world has turned their back on you? Are you going through a divorce or already been there? Have you lost a love one dear to your heart? Do you have a drug problem or any kind of addiction? Are you sick or dealing with a life long illness? Are you dealing with rebellious children?

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are going through, JESUS has the answer. In Isaiah 61:3 we read where “He will give us beauty for ashes.”

We are all put through trails for testing. Without a test you couldn’t have a testimony. Spiritually speaking when you go through a test you are put through a fire. Fire produces ashes. If you gather up those ashes, every time you look at them you will bring back those bad memories and hurts. We need to let go and let the wind of the Holy Spirit blow away all the ashes of our lives and let God give us beauty. Beauty such as forgiveness, peace and contentment in our homes, joy everlasting, healing in our spirit as well as our mind and body. His beauty takes away the loneliness, anger, bitterness, depression, addictions or any weight of the world that would try to hold us down.

Psalm 40:2 tells us “He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock (JESUS), and established my goings.”

It is time to let go and let GOD be GOD. He is more than enough.

Let us do as Psalm 34:1 says, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
