Everything

Life comes at you fast... sometimes too fast. There's so much that can happen in our lives. One moment can change the rest of your life. Tragedy can strike at any time. Things can and do happen to all of us. But what do you do when the storms of your life rage? Where do you run and who or what do you turn to?

Some turn to drugs... trying to get to that 'high' place where they're above all their troubles and problems. But the simple law of gravity defies the assumption that drugs can take care of your problems... what goes up, must come down.

Others turn to alcohol... feeling that buzz and on the way to being completely out of control, people think drinking can somehow solve the troubles of their lives... trying to escape from life itself, some slip into the numbness from intoxication.

And who could forget the infamous dollar sign!?!?! People love money so much and turn to it to fix their problems. The Bible says 'the love of money is the root of all evil'. How could the root of evil possibly fix anything in your life? Trust isn't in God anymore, instead there are those who trust in the almighty dollar!

There's so much more that people do and rely on when troubles come their way. Here's my question to all of you out there... WHAT ABOUT GOD!?!?!?!?

Where is He in your troubled life? Jesus can fix it... whatever the problem, whatever the situation, God can take care of it. His Word says to cast your cares on Him, because He cares for you! Instead of turning to drugs, sex, money, love, alcohol, etc. why not trust God and let Him take your burdens and do what only He can do?

If we would all just realize that God really does want to help us and can mend our broken hearts and troubled lives, I highly doubt that we would turn to anything else for help. He is waiting with outstretched arms... How can we stand still and not be moved by that? God's arms are wide open... We should run into His arms and let Him take care of all the hurt, pain, and troubles of our lives. Think about it... a God that wants to take care of us and protect us from all the enemy has up his sleeve. A God that has open arms for us to run into and be safe. He will calm your storm and give you rest, hold you in His hands and will not let you fall. How could it be better than that?!?!

Drugs, money, and all the things of this world will not do anything to help you. Jesus can give you strength to keep walking, hope to trust in, light to lead you, a purpose and a reason to live! Make Him all you want, all you need... make Jesus your everything!
