Beloved,
Even when God doesn’t take away the troubled waters of your life, he is the bridge you can lean on no matter what storms may come your way.
Scriptural Application:
The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.” (Psalm 145:14)
If we’re honest, in spite of our good intentions to really be there for people, to stick with them “no matter what,” to love them “unconditionally,” we all fall short. At the same time, this reality is also true for those we look to for strength. Yes, we can look to family for help, but you know how it feels to be disappointed by the very people who promised to “uphold us” when we’re falling and to “raise us up” when we are bowed down.
The only one who has never disappointed me is God. God’s faithfulness is best seen in our lord and savior Jesus Christ. If you look to another person to be this “Bridge over the troubled waters” of your life you are expecting someone else to do something only God can do for us.
FACT: Only God has the power to heal every disease.
FACT:Only he can raise the dead, to create out of nothing.
FACT: Only he has the strength to carry all our sins to the cross.
FACT:Only he has the power to declare sinners into saints.
FACT: And only he can promise to lift up those who are broken and bowed down and make good on his word.
Yes, even when God doesn’t take away the “troubled waters” of your life, he is the Bridge you can lean on no matter what storms may come your way. Our ministry philosophy is give Information, move to application, and discipleship through dissemination!
