BRAVE THE WORST, BECOME ‘THE BEST’

 

When we hear about people becoming overnight celebrities and get applauded for being ‘THE BEST’, we wonder at how easily they seem to make it to the top. Little do we realize the amount of slogging they would have done, to work their way up to the top.

How much of pain, struggle and continual failures they must have gone through before they reached their pinnacle of success? When we look at them from far we dream about making it BIG too. But …without the ‘Hardship’ part.  We do not want to go through hard tasks, bear the grit or eat humble pie. We want the easy way  out. This is with regard to the easy goers.

Now for the Be-the-Best, Hard Workers:

Needless to say, there is a lot of struggle and repeated failure patterns. Do not get overwhelmed. None of your efforts will go in vain. You will see success if you keep on pursuing your goal or vision

Even spiritual life is one of an endless struggle.

When our prayers go unanswered, when we hit an all time low or rock-bottom, we give up and want to resort to our old ways. But The Lord, in His Infinite Love and Compassion, guides us minute by minute, day by day. He stays beside us all the time. He never leaves us alone. We must believe this Truth. 

Psalm 23 is our Hope when we say,

‘The Lord is my Shepherd,I shall not be in want….

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For You are with me. Your rod and staff they comfort me……… .

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.’

The Joy of the Lord is your Strength (Nehemiah 8:10)

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, Thank you for this time of prayer. There are many going through this period fasting and praying. Their needs are many, Lord. Wipe away all the tears, console and comfort the sad and disheartened, grant those requests of Your people according to Your Will. Restore Hope and Joy in every heart that comes to you and finds rest in You. May each heart be fresh, strong and peaceful at the end of each day. In Your Name. Amen.

God bless and keep you in His Peace and Joy!
