Constant and Steady

Greetings,

This past weekend was a roller coaster of emotions for me as I watched the two NFL playoff games.  One of the teams I was rooting for looked like they were about to win and then a blown call by the referee ultimately led to their loss.  I couldn’t believe it!   The other game was neck in neck toward the end and finally went into overtime; I was a nervous wreck.  But the team I was cheering on won, so then I was thrilled again.

Highs and lows are part of life, and even our walk with God has them. There are when my heart soars because I just know my petitions have been “accepted by the Lord” (Psalm 6:9), and then there are days when I feel like Job, “If only I knew where I could find God! I would go where He lives” (Job 23:3).

The good news is that no matter how we feel, God remains constant and steady in His love for us; He is not subject to wavering emotions.   “Even if we are unfaithful, He remains faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13). 

Every time you pray, keep this encouraging and powerful truth in mind: “Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!” (Psalm 116:2)

No matter how much or how little faith you have at any given moment, no matter how connected or disconnected you feel to God, when you pray, He bends down to listen EVERY SINGLE TIME. 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, what a beautiful and inspiring verse.  That You, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth, would come to me and give Me Your undivided attention fills me with joy and hope.  Thank You for caring enough about me to listen.  In Jesus’ name, AMEN~
