Stuck In A Crack?
“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.”
Lena Horne (1917-2010) American dancer, actress, singer; Civil Rights activist
Psalm 55:22 (NLT) Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
How have you been handling uninvited interruptions that have put a crack in your joy? Can you still see the ‘Son’ shining in your life, or are you trying to patch up the crack so you can have your joy back? Maybe you need to take a different approach. Instead of getting stuck in a crack, why don’t you decline your permission for the interruption to intrude on you, and approach it as a learning tool.
Praise God for Him being the Joy of your life, and let Him teach you valuable lessons on avoiding cracks and keeping your spirit’s joy intact by partnering with other believers in fellowship and prayer. It’s hard when you fall in the crack and have no one in your circle to encourage you. But in the fellowship of other believers, there’s no place for you to get stuck, and your joy will only increase because ‘where two or more are gathered, there [Joy] will be in the midst of them’ (Matthew 18:20)!
