Have you ever felt like you were forced to be the energizer bunny? Keep going and going…  Whether it’s the daily cares of life or added stress of the holiday season, you feel the need to keep going. 

Let me ask one more question.   Where is God in all this?

We have all been prone to the above time, and time again.   We have set God on the bench to observe, as we take each play of our lives into our own hands.  We absorb the daily cares and stresses of sickness, or financial burden that strike our household.  You may say, “It’s not my intention to leave God on the bench, but I just forget to include Him in my busy schedule.”

Many times we run ourselves until we are on empty, and then we try to run ourselves a bit more.   All of a sudden, we feel alone, alone to handle every dilemma that comes our way.  But, in the midst of our pain He calls out from the bench, “Trust in me with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)   At this point, we have no choice but to surrender our cares and stresses to the Lord almighty.

As the year is coming to a close, and a new one is about to begin let’s make a conscience effort to keep God in our daily lives.   No matter the circumstances or how busy our schedules may be, let’s seek His will in all we do, and He will show us which path to take. (Proverbs 3:6)

Blessings,

God bless you,  

I trust that you are having a good day today, since everyday that God creates is a good day... even though we all have our own trials and struggles in our everyday lives, we can always find a way or a reason to be thankful for another day.   

I want to take a few minuets and first of all invite you to come and visit us at NEW LIFE in our Berwyn campus where God is truly doing amazing things.  For the past 7 months I have had the honor of serving at our Berwyn campus along side a great team, and let me tell you that God has been speaking directly to each and everyone present, especially myself.  

I can say that God is calling for all of us to be leaders in our homes, in our jobs, in our everyday lives. God is really challenging us to look at every person through His eyes so that we can work to spread His love and His gospel to all.  This is one area in my life that God has opened my eyes to, and really worked on.  I have plenty of shortcomings, we all do as humans, but I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity God continues to give me to prove myself to Him.  I’m thankful for all that He continues to bless me, and my family with.  I’m thankful that He is still dealing in my life, and continues to speak to me.  I’m especially thankful that He is on my side.    

I really want to encourage you to trust in God, and let yourself be guided by His voice.  Find a church that is guided by the Spirit of God, and that teaches His word and you will see how much richer your life will be!
