Daily Word – Monday 19^th October 2009 

And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you poor and lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours!

 [Luke 6:20] 

As a Christian there have been many times that I have felt like a failure and totally unworthy of calling myself ‘Christian’. There have been times during this year when I have felt hopeless when I should have had hope, broken and beaten when I should have been walking in spiritual victory, tormented when I should have experienced the peace that surpasses all understanding; times when I have trembled in fear instead of standing in faith, felt lost and alone in the knowledge of an all loving God, and experienced discontentment when my contentment is to be found only in my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

Yet through all the above I have been continually reminded that when I am weak, that is when HIS STRENGTH can be most manifest in my life; that I am saved daily not because of how great I can be but because of how great HE IS! And so slowly I made it though another storm, across another valley and over another ocean, finding that through it all there was always a safe harbour for my soul. 

So if you are caught in a storm today, don’t jump out of the boat but hang on because the ‘Captain of the Universe’ is at the helm!!

 

Stay fervently focused, 

Much love
