Laid Off, Finances Gone? Advice - What To Do When Think You’ve Reached Your Stress Threshold! Part 1
By Huldah Jones
Step One: Remember the Things You’re Not Supposed to Forget:
“I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
OK, so you are feeling as though you’re reaching your threshold, can’t take another thing, right? You feel forsaken, right? Wrong! You’re not forsaken! You have not hit bottom because “underneath are the everlasting arms.”
Deuteronomy 33:27
To put it in today’s language, “There’s no way on earth or heaven in any circumstance that I would even think about leaving you, let alone leave you; no way man!”
I will never, no, never leave thee, no, never forsake thee. This is how it goes in the original language. See how firm in His commitment when making the truth-statement that He’ll never forsake us? It may be bad grammar but it’s good in commitment.
Maybe you’ve not seen real commitment. Have your only known people who weasel on marriage commitment and consequently it’s going to be difficult to grab on to the Lord’s commitment? His ways are not like man’s ways.
Step Two: Forget the Things You Need To Forget In Order To Remember the Promises You Need to Remember:
Read all of Isaiah Chapter 55
From the first words of this chapter there is the call from the Lord to the forsaken who are thirsty for comfort; certainly when we feel forsaken we need comfort. The key to remember start at verse eight, “For my thoughts are not your thought, neither your ways my ways, says the Lord”
Remember, the Risen Lord, who is your exceeding great reward, has not forsaken you or me or any who call upon His Name! Let His promises guide you into the words and ways of truth.
I will never, no, never leave thee, no, never forsake thee.
