Have you ever felt a heaviness and just could not shake it? Sure! We all have at one point or another. I am reminded today of what takes that heaviness away. It is the presence of God. The presence of God that comes to you when you read the Word of God. The Word that is alive and powerful.
Like so many times before, when we feel overwhelmed or we feel discouraged or we are simply having one of those days, you pick up the bible and you turn to a passage, any passage, and God speaks to you. Suddenly, the presence of God fills your heart and you know, all is well.
So, as the Psalmist declared, "lift up your head" oh saint of God. Strengthen thyself in the Lord! Allow the presence of God to fill that emptiness. Allow the presence of God to saturate you and alleviate all your worries, fears and anxieties.
What can you do? Find a friend who will be there for you. Open the Word of God and invite the presence of God into your situation. Knowing this, Jesus was "touched with the feelings of your infirmities, yet without sin." Jesus knows and cares! What great news. Allow the presence of God fill you, your mind and thoughts, and your very being.
This is today,
Pastor Gary
