Strange Land

 Have you ever made a wrong turning while travelling only to find yourself in an unfamiliar place and far away from your destination? You become agitated and afraid if night falls, your mind runs through the danger that might be lurking in the dark... May the Lord guide your heart, be your light as you navigate your way back to the right course in Jesus name.

When you find yourself in an unfamiliar territory, the first thing you attempt to do is make sense out of how the roads intersect or how to find your bearing. In this day of technology and GPS, your device will search for signal from your current location. However, if there are no signals from your current location, your device can not really help.

Have you found yourself in a strange land of debt? You struggle endlessly to pay bills, meet the basic need and you wonder where to go from here? Maybe you are functioning or malfunctioning in error and wonder how to locate your way back to God? Perhaps it is barrenness, failure, a difficult and unduly challenging marriage where you have put in your best and yet you always seem to miss it.

You probably have failed over and over again and it has caused your heart to become weary. If you have lost your sense of direction and you have found yourself in a desert, then you need to retrace your step. You need to locate your signal to navigate out of your present location, you need to be back on track.

Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the life: no man Cometh unto the Father but by me". John 14:6
You need to follow the Way, you need to walk in the Truth in all your dealings, a little lie can lead to error when these are done then the life of God will flow through you to restore you.

The Children of Israel lamented by the rivers of Babylon, they remembered Zion as they wept. Do not weep till you get into depression, call on His name from the pit,desert or lonely state you find yourself. I do not talk about activities alone, but of a deep yearning and relationship with God that brings restoration.

God wants to restore your confidence that the enemy has stolen through the things that you have suffered. Refuse to stay mournful, lift up your head by the word of God. You are God's idea and dream, do not allow life pressures and challenges to abort you!

Have a glorious weekend.

Shalom!
