Sick Of It!

 How many of us have been there, or are currently there? What do I mean you are asking. Being sick of the way that things are. The shape that the world is in. The shape that your life is in. The choices that you make are just not working out. Sick of the rut that your in. Need/want to make some changes. You buy a self help book. Get some advice from friends. Buy a new car. Get some new clothes. A new job. New house. Anything to try and make a change. Still nothing changes. Your still 'sick of it'.

Then you think, "I should try going to church". Nothing else has worked. So you pick out a church to attend and go to service. You sit there listening to the pastor talk about the love that Jesus has for you. The freedom that He'll give you. The chains that He'll break. You start thinking about everything. How you are sick of it all! Then when the pastor asks if there is anyone who wants a change in their life and accept Jesus, to raise your hand. You remember what the pastor said Jesus would do for you. Being sick and tired of it all, you think this is the change that I need and all of a sudden, your hand is in the air. You just made the right choice that will change your life forever. The air feels a little lighter. You're walking a little taller. Things just seem better. You went into church one way and came out another. That's what Jesus does. He changes us. No self help book, medication, drug or anything else can do that for you. Only Jesus!

Psalm 55:22 New Living Translation

22 Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you.

So raise your hand if your sick of: Regrets, broken promises, favoritism at work or in your family. Evil running rampant everywhere! There is a reason life is sometimes referred to as a rat race. Just seems like you are caught in an endless maze! With no way out.

Galatians 5:1Amplified Bible

5 It was for this freedom that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed].

Jesus provides that way out. Out of our doldrums. Our depression. The endless maze that we seem to be caught in. 

So I encourage you, that no matter what it is that you are 'sick of'. The world, your life, your job. Stop trusting yourself and put your trust in The One who is trustworthy. Jesus!

Proverbs 3:5 The Message

5 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all.

God bless!
