It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever suffered tragedy within your family? Maybe someone close to you passed away or a close friend betrayed your trust. Have you ever had life hit you with something unexpected? Out of nowhere, things began to go from bad to worse. The plans you made were put on hold because an unforeseen circumstance required immediate intervention. Have you ever watched someone you love fight for their life? With your own eyes, you watched as this person fought for every breath they took. You watched as this person, whom you loved, suffered and there was nothing you could do about it. Have you ever been mad at yourself because you wanted to do more but there was nothing else to be done? You did all you could possibly think of but things still did not change.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Often times life catches us off guard with situations we were not prepared for. While things appear under control, to our surprise one phone call, one doctor’s visit, one missed paycheck, and now everything is hanging by a thread. Who would have ever thought things could get like this. This was not apart of your plans. Your masterpiece did not conclude like that. Have you ever been there? Are you there? A place where you wonder how you will go on. My friend, There Is Life After This Matter! The Bible declares in 1 John 4:4 – Ye …because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. I know how it feels to lose close relatives to death. I know how it feels to lose close friends to jealousy. I know how it feels to wonder if things will ever get better. I know the feeling. BUT, I also know how it feels when Jesus intervenes and intercedes for me.
My brother, my sister, what are you currently dealing with this morning? What dilemma do you find yourself faced with? What tragedy has you questioning life and the Lord? What has happened that makes you want to quit? There Is Life After This Matter! You can make it. You can survive this situation. The Bible declares in Romans 8:37 – Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Beloved, this is not the time to give up. This is not the time to doubt God’s abilities. This is not the time to question your dreams and purpose. No, no, no! This is actually the time for you to stand up and be bold. God is on your side. No matter what has happened, you can and will make it. Prayer for Today: Father, help me see that there is life after this matter. In the name of Jesus … Amen!
