Look to Jesus for Your Help!!!

What do you do when something Gi-Normous (gigantically enormous) comes your way??? 

Well, the answer may NOT seem simple, but it is.

YOU LOOK TO JESUS!!!  “¹ …let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, ²Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith… Heb. 12:2 (KJV)

I really like the way the CEB words part of this scripture, “¹ …Let’s throw off any extra baggage, get rid of the sin that trips us up!”

The CEV says, “¹ …So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us.”

 

Now, I must tell you that I am NOT talking about sin, but about ALL the stuff that comes up in our lives when we are trying to do as the scripture says, And run with patience the race that is set before us.

The devil will do ALL he can to detour us and trip us up because he does NOT want to see us finish our race and reach our goals.    

What race?  You might ask. 

I am referring to whatever task the Lord has assigned for you to do.  Whatever HE has put on your heart to do!  That is what you need to do; what you need to complete!!  Your goal should be to be pleasing to God and to finish what He is telling you to do in the way that He is telling you to do it!

 

I realize that our first instinct is to “do it or fix it ourselves!!!” 

When we learn to trust in Jesus, we will finally understand that HE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS!!! Then we will NOT waste all of our time trying to fix our own problems. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 (CEV) ⁵ With all your heart you must trust the LORD and not your own judgment. ⁶ Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (CEB) ⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart; don’t rely on your own intelligence. ⁶ Know him in all your paths, and he will keep your ways straight.

When we learn that we can’t rely on ourselves, we will begin to realize that we must look to The Lord God above ALL else. 

Once we learn to put our trust in HIM and rely on HIM, things will be so much easier for us.  And we can expect HIM to help us!!!


JESUS WILL HELP US!!!

 

Psalm 121 (KJV)

¹I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  

²My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

³He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

⁴Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

⁶The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

⁷The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

⁸The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
