Some Help Please 🆘🙏

On a day like today, where we can easily sit and think about all the goings-on around us and realize how easy it is to be swept up and swept away by feelings of despair and hopelessness, it is then that we most need to be still.

When we listen to or watch the news, there is no shortage of gloomy and depressing reports that can bring down even the most chirpy, cheery and chipper person you can think of.

There are wars and rumours of wars, looming threats of old and new diseases, tragic death of people in droves... inevitably, the mind will ask: "Where's the hope?"

It is in times like these that we must draw upon our scripture bank for the evergreen reminder, that our help does not come from mountains or statues, it doesn't come from ancestors and those that have gone before us... our help, all of our help comes from the Lord.

Jesus is our refuge and our strength.  This sentiment is plastered throughout the Bible... and with good reason.  This is a timely truth that holds the power of rehydration and reinvigoration,  even when you find yourself in a dry and weary place, where it seems there is no water for quenching life's droughts.

Call upon the Lord, reach out to your Almighty God and be ye encouraged.

Then mount up on your mission and spread that hope to those around you in need of encouragement and upliftment.

There are broken hearts all around us, there are many who feel defeated and downtrodden.

They need you.

They need you to triumph over the onslaught of doubt and guilt and fear.

They need you to step out in Faith.

Be not deceived, for God has called you to be His handiwork and His mouthpiece to be the bearer of good news... that He is always in control and He is always in your corner.

So when life's trying to beat you down, always remember, it's never too late to take a breath, take a pause and take it to the Lord, even if it's just to say: God, Some Help Please.
