There Is Life After This Matter!


x

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever suffered tragedy within your family?  Maybe someone close to you passed away or a close friend betrayed your trust.  Have you ever had life hit you with something unexpected?  Out of no where, things began to go from bad to worse.  The plans you made were put on hold because an unforeseen circumstance required immediate intervention.  Have you ever watched someone you love fight for their life?  With your own eyes, you watched as this person fought for every breath they took.  You watched as this person, whom you loved, suffered and there was nothing you could do about it.  Have you ever been mad at yourself because you wanted to do more but there was nothing else to be done?  You did all you could possibly think of but things still did not change.
Often times life catches us off guard with situations we were not prepared for.  While things appear under control, to our surprise one phone call, one doctor’s visit, one missed paycheck and now everything is hanging by a thread.  Who would have ever thought things could get like this.  This was not apart of your plans.  Your masterpiece did not conclude like that.  Have you ever been there?  Are you there?  A place where you wonder how you will go on.  My friend, There Is Life After This Matter!  
The Bible declares in 1 John 4:4 - Ye …because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.  I know how it feels to lose close relatives to death.  I know how it feels to lose close friends to jealousy.  I know how it feels to wonder if things will ever get better.  I know the feeling.  BUT, I also know how it feels when Jesus intervenes and intercedes for me.
My brother, my sister, what are you currently dealing with this morning?  What dilemma do you find yourself faced with?  What tragedy has you questioning life and the Lord?  What has happened that makes you want to quit?  There Is Life After This Matter!  You can make it.  You can survive this situation.  The Bible declares in Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  Beloved, this is not the time to give up.  This is not the time to doubt God’s abilities.  This is not the time to question your dreams and purpose.  No, no, no!  This is actually the time for you to stand up and be bold.  God is on your side.  No matter what has happened, you can and will make it.  Prayer for Today: Father, help me see that there is life after this matter.  In the name of Jesus … Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: Proverbs 18:21

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

When You Pray

My brother, my sister, when you pray do you believe God is able to do what it is you stand in need of?  Do you believe the Lord can handle whatever you bring to Him?  Do you believe He can do anything but fail?  Are your prayers spent telling God about your problems or praising Him for His power?  Do you find yourself crying about matters that the Lord said He would take care of in due time?  Do you often doubt God hears your prayers?  Do you wonder if God has forgotten about you?  Do you sometimes feel as if everything around you is chaotic?  Sometimes, do you think one more bad report will push you over the edge? Beloved, if you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this morning’s devotional is for you.  I have been sent to remind you of two important things: When You Pray  always acknowledge that you are talking to God ( Genesis 18:14 ); and When You Pray  always close in the name of Jesus ( Acts 4:12 ).

Rejection: How to Let Go of Someone Who Treats You Badly

It’s tempting to stay and try to fix it. But sometimes, leaving is the only option. During most of my early dating years, I was drawn to guys who treated me badly and learned to settle for less than I deserved from relationships. Truth be told, my divorce was the catalyst that showed me that I was attracting partners who were at a similar level of woundedness and didn’t know how to go about attracting a healthy, loving partner. You may be at risk for toxic relationships if you become so absorbed in your partner’s problems you don’t often have time to identify, or solve, your own. Or, you care so deeply about your partner that you’ve lost track of your own needs. Growing up, were you often in a caretaker role with one or both parents or your siblings? Are you a people pleaser who feels that you have to be in a good mood or positive when you are with your friends, family, or an intimate partner? If you have this tendency, you may find setting l...
