Daily Devotional – 8/27/15 “Struggling but not stranded!”

It’s Thursday, almost the end of yet another month and someone is still struggling from the beginning of the month but I stopped by to tell you that although you’re struggling, you aren’t stranded. What does that mean? Well, that means … you may be struggling in your storm but God won’t leave you for He is your umbrella of protection. You may be struggling in your finances but you shall not be without for God is your provider. You may be struggling with sickness but you shall not die for God is your healer. You may be going through a momentary weakness of wandering lost yet you shall not be stranded for God is your guide. Yea, the devil thinks he has you but baby, he only has the illusion of you for God won’t allow you to suffer and die at the hands of your enemy.

I get it; thangs going wrong and it has you shook up. You come out of your circumstance stumbling and mumbling like you’ve lost your mind but God hasn’t left you. Yea, you’re looking around trying to figure out where you are but just stand still and let your eyes focus and you’re see that you are right where you need to be. Beloved, God hasn’t forsaken you. He won’t leave you stranded over on Situation Blvd. He won’t allow you to be shipwrecked off of Suicide Way. God won’t leave you high and dry at High and Drugged Out Lane. God won’t let His children suffer alone. Oh and get this … God is like TDOT (only greater); He’s always roaming and He knows when His children are in trouble and He shows up in the nick of time with what you need to get you back on the road. Yea, you may be struggling but if you’re of the Lord, He won’t leave you stranded. Don’t leave Him!

“The LORD will not let the godly go hungry, but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.” Proverbs 10:3
