Today’s Readings:
Psalm 30; 2 Kings 4:18:31; 2 Corinthians 8:1-7
Life is in phases; no one gets to a good and better one if he does not start somewhere. Many at times, people begin with the negative phase of life which made them to appreciate God better any time they start experiencing the good phase. The negative phase does gulp up many people especially people that have no link with the creator of heaven and earth – so many of the people who were to make positive impact in the journey of life had been swept away and buried in the dungeon of life while they are still alive.
Having connection with the Lord is a way out of the terrible situation people found themselves. God cannot fold his alms and be forever looking at his children suffering without standing to rescue them. On many occasions, He allows such experience to strengthen his people and to make them gather experience as tools to rescue people coming behind them. Therefore, struggle to overcome your challenges because God wants to use you with your experience to deliver people coming behind you. There is hope only in Christ Jesus; when hope is lost in man God resuscitates lives. People that make it to the apex of life are the people that do not allow their little beginning to enslave them. Whether rich or poor, whether life or death, good or bad, use your experiences to glorify God.
