Stop and Look Around

It’s getting harder now to live, 



Seems like everyday life’s asking us for more to give

And we’ve forgotten how to pray 


Even simple words like “help” have gotten hard to say

When life brings you down

Stop and look around

God will show a way

He’s done it many times before (and)

It will be Okay 



With no way out He opens up a door 



It’s getting harder now to smile

When every step you take feels like you’ve walked a thousand miles

And we can help each other change

We’re all so different but our problems seem to be the same

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” –Joshua 1:9

What’s going on in your life? Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Nothing is going as plan?

In the above verse, Moses has passed on and Joshua (Moses’ assistant) is now faced wit the challenge of leading the people to the ”Promised” Land.  It wasn’t going to be easy but God continued to remind Joshua “Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” (1:5)

Life isn’t easy and we can get discouraged, but if we look around and remember all of the times God has pulled us through (the times we shouldn’t have come out of a situation alive or unscathed) we can take comfort in knowing that God is there and will always be.
