The Lord Will Give
"Yes, the Lord will give what is good." (Psalm 85:12)... Keep this in mind, when the going
is rough...when you are in the midst of a storm...remember spring is just around the
corner...yes the sun will shine again...believe it...don't allow yourself to become
self-centered...don't allow yourself to be ruled by your emotions . . . "Now look, God
Himself is with us as our head." (II Chronicles 13:12)...don't make yourself the center of
your universe. . .put God in His rightful place. . Don' t let self-pity rule you...when you
are in the midst of a storm...remember, God's word says, "He calms the storm so that its
waves are still." (Psalm 107:29)..How can you wallow in self-pity when God's word tells us,
"And the desire of the righteous will be granted." (Proverbs 10:24)...self-pity is a
trap...it is a sign of pride... reject it...It shouts...me...me...me...reject it...Lift up
Jesus... He is worthy..."Our help is in the name of the Lord." (Psalm 124:8) Look to Him for
help...He will help...all the self-pity... self-centeredness, will not deliver you...Jesus
Christ can and He will...count on it. Psalm 71:21 says, You shall increase my greatness and
comfort me on every side." This is what you should direct your thoughts to, to help you out
of the doldrums, when they threaten you...resist them with the word...God will bring
deliverance.. "Let us, therefore, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16) Remember take your eyes off
self.. Look to God...go onto victory... Rejoice...and remember, "Weeping may endure for a
night, but joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5)
