"The Lord will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry!"
Isaiah 30: 19
Just when I was saying "Counseling is so hard today, maybe it is time to do something else, or nothing!"
The very next morning, here came the Daily Bread with this entire discussion. Even when things change and THEY HAVE since 1982, it is still the very same issue no matter what you are doing in your life.
"Today people all around us are in need of someone to take action to help them. It is a high privilege to become the hands of God, as we respond on His behalf to cries for help!"
You might notice that January and February get very grey, dry, and boring. Some do and some don't.
I have to use a light-box every winter to be able to stay up and busy. People make fun of me all the time about how I count the days of spring and when the time changes. As of tomorrow 49 and 35.
So, for some of us things can get really funky and I was having one of those days. For the next two days between devotions, and a sermon on restoring people and getting out there to help them, I have had to stop and breathe. Breathing in the Lord, His Holy Spirit and grace brings on new feelings, and almost feels like you've had a vacation. I love how God comes immediately to our aid, if we do cry out. I don't mess around anymore with thinking about it, getting all down about things. I have been know to say -"This sucks, do something" "Jesus, help the girl!" I swear by it, He comes, He shows up.
Read Isaiah 30 15: 22
