The Power of Scripture
I hate to admit it, but life has been getting to me lately. Between work, school and other commitments, I was feeling some pressure. The frustrating part was that I knew I shouldn't be so worried. I mean, I am extremely blessed. The world is full of hurting people ... those who are dealing with much more than me. However, I still was down.
Last night, I was sitting in class bored and tired. As I began to fiddle with stuff on my desk, I noticed the writing on my pen.
"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose."
- Eccl 3:1
The encouragement was immediate. I felt the comfort that can only come from God. It was a great reminder of how powerful His Word can be. Can you imagine what it will be like to hear God's voice when we're in heaven? I imagine something more powerful than anything I've witnessed on earth, but yet gentle and comforting at the same time.
Praise God for the hope we have through Him. No matter how overwhelming life may seem, as Christians we have the Creator of life with us, and He is interested ...
"I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. "
- Psalm 121:1-2
