Life doesn’t stop because you’ve had a bad day, week, month or year; no, it keeps moving. You can’t just quit and give up because things didn’t work out the way you planned. So you’ve been thrown a curve ball and all of a sudden you feel as though God doesn’t love you anymore. Get yourself together, and realize that nothing can happen to you without God’s permission.
Test and trials come to make us strong, to let us know what God has placed inside of us, to purge us of things not like God and to draw us into a closer relationship to God. God doesn’t allow things to happen to us for kicks and giggles.
When Moses died, God told Joshua get up and get moving, life goes on.
When Naomi went back to her homeland, Ruth said I’m going with you, life goes on.
When Jeremiah wanted to give up and throw in the towel, he got himself together and said life goes on.
When Rizpah sons were killed she fanned the fowl of the air away all day and night until David gave them a proper burial, she said life goes on.
When Ezekiel’s wife died and God told him you better not shed one tear, Ezekiel sucked it up didn’t cry and said life goes on.
When blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by and the people told him to shut up, he cried even the more and said life goes on.
See, no matter what your circumstances are, life doesn’t stop. Learn to roll with the punches, through all the pain and sorrow life can bring. You just may find that if you keep living and don’t give up; God will turn your mourning into dancing, your sorrow into laughing and your sadness into joy.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
