New life force for you!

Are you worn out? Tired? Did you have a tough start to your day? Did you make mistakes or wrong decisions? Maybe you don't like what you see in the mirror. Perhaps your hopes are fading—and believing in miracles is getting harder and harder. 

Ah, how good a role model King David is for us in situations like these! He understood because he experienced all these feelings himself. He made some really bad decisions—major ones—but he also experienced being suddenly afflicted out of nowhere. He must have wondered, "Why me?"

Do you ever ask yourself, "Why me? I want to live, too. Really live!" Then you need to know this, friend: you can already live while you're still waiting for your miracle! Life is a gift you have received:

"For You created my inmost being…" (Psalm 139:13, NIV)  

Here's my first point, friend: God wanted YOUR existence. He wants YOU to live!

But what if you don't really care anymore whether you live or not? What if these thoughts are starting to have more power in your mind and heart? Then it's urgently time for point two: "Smother the lie with the truth." Even if you don't believe the truth anymore, I exhort you to speak it! When you do, you rob the lie of its power.

"I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, because they do not keep Your word. Consider how I love Your precepts; revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness. The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever." (Psalm 119:158-160, NKJV)  

Do as David does! On the one hand, he says how tired he is of evil, but in the same breath, he confesses, "The entirety of Your word is truth"! And what does His Word say? That God wants you, and He wants you to live! HE will give you the power and miracles for your life today, tomorrow, and into the future. 

That's my prayer today! May joy return to your life and miracles happen as we pray together, full of faith…"Lord, I ask You to give me new vitality by Your grace! The entirety of Your Word is truth." Amen and amen! :-)

You are a miracle!
