It’s funny how life can come at you so differently from day to day. We all have our share of good days and bad days, then there are days like today. Not bad, but a day where it felt like I was being tested at every turn, so I decided to take a little detour on my way to Penn Station. When faced with any kind of bad moment, experience, or day it’s common for people to blame God. We all need to remember that God does not tempt us.
13 And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. -James 1:13
But it’s our own vanity and misconceptions that prevent us from seeking and excepting help from the only true place we can get it, our Faith. And although I am a believer in that we are the church, not the building, sometimes it feels good to just sit for a moment in the presence of Christ. So I headed to my “city church” after work. There’s something about stepping through the doorway that just feels safe. Like in Proverbs 18:10 where it says that “the name of the Lord is a strong fortress, the godly run to Him and are safe”. Now even though the tabernacle is in front of me, when I close my eyes to pray I feel like Christ is sitting next to me. It never ceases to amaze me the power we are blessed to have at our disposal, we only gave to accept it. After praying and simply sitting in His presence for a little while, as I opened my eyes it was like a weight lifted…which was good because I had to start running to make my train. I hope you all remember to always look to God whenever you need help, nothing is to large or to small for Him. I’ll be praying for you all.
Remember to live the Faith.
God bless.
