Today's Walk With the Lord: Psalm 49:5

Good Morning,

 

Psalm 49:5 says:

 

Why should I be afraid of bad days? Why should I fear when evil people surround me?

 

I find this intriguing because I know there are two sets of answers. There are answers from those who do not know the Lord and those who do. If you have accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and savior, then you should not be afraid of bad days. They will come, but Jesus is with you.

 

If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then when you are surrounded by evil people, the Lord is with you.

 

The Holy Spirit will help us. We may get the right words to say, we may be given a thought of what to do, not matter what the Holy Spirit does, we know that we are not alone.

 

Bad things do happen to good people, and part of this is God’s plan in our lives.

 

I have still a lot to learn in my walk with the Lord on how to better prepare for and embrace these days, but I know with the Lord, everything is possible. This fact alone is a great step forward, for years ago, I felt that I was an island, that I could do it all myself. While I was successful at many things by grinding it out and pushing, these are nothing to what the Lord has been doing through me these last few years.

 

Believe in the Lord and know that He is there, loving and protecting us, and the bad days will not seem so bad.

 

Enjoy!
