Psalm 54:4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

Hi Rose Buddy! It’s October which means God has brought us into a new month. One reason to get excited is because He has helped us all year whether we recognize it or not. This post was intended for October 1st, but today will be a double whammy. I will be attempting to post every day this month. So, let’s get into this post shall we?

As I stated, God has helped us in so many ways. Most of the time, we forget to acknowledge how much we truly need Him. Speaking from experience, pride and depression would keep me from appreciating the Great Help of The Lord in my life. When life hits, it’s fairly easy for me to look at my circumstances and assume that God is testing me a little bit too much. Anyone know the feeling? The past few years, I have been feeling like as soon as I leap over one hurdle, another one is placed in my path. There are moments when I am feeling overwhelmed and wishing I had an easier life. Last year, I received a Word from The Lord saying my life will be stable for once. He said, I am so accustomed to chaos(which is true) that He will settle things for me and I can finally feel at ease. Currently, my life is still chaotic. In all honesty, I didn’t fully believe The Word given to me last year. It was defintely a “doubting Thomas” response in my heart. Lord, help my unbelief! It’s as though I am always asked to walk on troubled waters every three months. It also doesn’t help that onlookers see me as strong which gives me even less of a reason to show vulnerability at times. So, I cry out to God in my category 5 storms.

Recently I had a tumultuous announcement that shook my entire wig loose. As I fall on my knees in tears and frustration, I ask God to just help me! Strengthen me because my frailty is becoming engrossed. My flesh is tired and I need understanding more than anything. Reflecting on my fave prophet, Elijah, I start to narrow my view just as he. Wondering why am I going through this? Then, I am reminded of the scripture He is my Helper. Even better, I am reminded in my life that He is my Helper and the Only One Who can sustain me. So, this situation would be no different. Although assuring, it also shows God thought about this before He allowed it to happen. Every mishap in my life was orchestrated. With that in mind, I begin to ask for the mind of Christ. The mind to intentionally please God no matter how bleak things look right now. Later, I will be giving a testimony on how He helped me once again. So, stay tuned! For now just know that God cares and is a Present Help in times of trouble! Even if He does not get you out, His Presence is enough to keep you from burning in the fire!

I hope this is encouraging and again stay tuned for the testimony guys. I am believing God at His Word and leaning on His Promises. Until next time, PEACE!
