MUSINGS FROM PASTOR BRAD
The other day I was emptying our dishwasher and putting dishes away in our kitchen when I glass slipped through my fingers and as I watched that glass head towards the floor I thought to myself, “Well, that’s going to break.” You just get that sinking feeling in your stomach in that split second as it descends to the floor and think to yourself, “I’m are going to have shards I’m going to have to pick up and, because of our ever present dogs, I’m going to have to make sure our dogs aren’t going to step onto the shards and cut themselves, resulting in a trip the vet. Plus, Amy might kill me for breaking this glass.” All this is going on in my head as that glass hurtles towards the floor when it SMACKS onto the floor. And then: nothing, It doesn’t shatter. No breakage. Not even a crack. Totally fine. And total relief by me. Thank you Jesus. That glass was more resilient than I thought.
It made me think about ourselves. Sometimes we think are more fragile than we are, that we can’t handle the things that life throws at us, that we are just going to break and all apart. I know I can feel this way. I sometimes look at my schedule and the things I have going on and think, “Well, I’m going to crumble like cookie by the end of this week.” And then five other things happen and yet somehow I make it through. We have more strength and resilience than we think because we don’t go through all these things on our own. We have a Savior who walks with us, a Messiah who bears our burdens and lifts us up, even when we don’t realize it. We also just might be tougher than we think.
But too often we give up before we even get started. Too often we see the road ahead and just lay down. We think of ourselves as that glass that was hurtling toward the floor. Of course we will break. Yet, trust in yourself. Trust in your Savior Jesus Christ who walks with you, loves you, saves you, and strengthens you. You are stronger than you think. With Jesus besides us, we can get through anything. You might hit the floor and just might not break like you think. For the Lord is there for you today, tomorrow, and every single day. For remember this promise, “I am with you always till the end of the age.” May you remember every day that your Savior Jesus Christ is with you and because of that, you always have hope. For when you feel weak, Jesus is there to make you strong.
May God bless you today and always!
