The Lord Stood With Me

This morning, I was sitting on our front porch, drinking a cup of coffee, listening to the birds, and being thankful for all of God’s blessings. When the traffic on the road became too loud to hear the birds, I decided to scroll through my social media. I’ve become really good at weeding out all the negative/evil out of my social media. Now, I feel like I have a vibrant, diverse Christian community. I also include people that may have different views from me, sometimes it changes my perspective or it may strengthen my own beliefs. Well, this morning I was listening to Chad Bird’s Tik Tok on blessings, and he said something that really resonated with me. The Lord’s blessings don’t always come in a way that makes us happy or jubilant. His blessings shine brightest when we are at our weakest. Christ “promises that in our weakness always to be our blessed strength”. I know that the holidays can be the hardest time for some people. And I’m so sorry if you are struggling. Just know, that Christ is with you and He will stand with you always.

But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that the entire message would be preached through me and so all the nations could hear it. I was also rescued from the lion’s mouth! 2 Timothy 4:17 CEB
