Living your life day by day in the 'JOY' of the LORD!

Life Is Not A Bowl Of Cherries!

 

Welcome to Page 2 of this Article on the topic of Life Is Not A Bowl Of Cherries.  

Everyone has either known deep sorrow and suffering or they might be in the middle of such pain this very moment.  Have you every wondered if there is a good reason or answer for all you go through at times?  Of course there is!  Many people have given up all together believing that things will never work out for them in their lifetime.  There are dear souls who have gone so far a to take their own life because they lost their vision of GOD'S willingness and desire to help them.

When you have reached the point where you honestly believe that you can't take it any more, don't cave in.  Believe in your heart that the LORD is on HIS way to bless you with blessings only HE can give.  You may ask; "Well then why has HE taken so long, why didn't HE show up when things could have been fixed and made right so easily?"  Although it may seem too difficult to understand, we need to live by faith, and know in our hearts that the good purposes of GOD will always be fulfilled in our life.

In a daily relationship with the LORD, we pray, praise and rejoice in HIM everyday.  These things become even more critical during the worst of times in our life.  Instead of falling apart, press into the LORD.  Remember that GOD has a wonderful plan for your life regardless of whatever you find yourself going through.  HIS perfect plan for your life can't be altered or abandoned just because Life Is Not A Bowl Of Cherries.  

Build your confidence in GOD'S plan for your life by reviewing Jeremiah 29:11-13:

Jeremiah 29:11-13


"For I know the plans I have for you
,"

declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you

and not to harm you, plans to give you hope

and a future.  Then you will call upon
ME

and come and pray to ME, and I will listen to you.

You will seek ME and find ME when you

seek
ME with all your heart."

We do not need to know the exact ways and means the LORD is going to accomplish all these things in our lives.  What is critical, is that we believe HIS Word without doubting, and when we do that, we know that even if our boat appears to be sinking, JESUS, our RESCUER will keep us from drowning.
