SPEAK TO YOUR SOUL!
The current situation around the whole world has changed a lot in everyone's lives. It's okay to feel overwhelmed and to feel down at times, but please do not stay there!.
The bible tells us about David and the distress he went through at some point in his life. He was deeply troubled and he always spoke to God about it. Apart from speaking to God, who is the rock of our salvation, David also spoke to his SOUL!
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. (Psalm 42:11 NIV)”
As humans, it is natural to follow our feelings and make decisions based on our feelings. However, we can learn from David that no matter how we feel, we should always put our trust in God and continue to praise Him in all situations. Besides, we are not of the world to continue to act like it, instead we should encourage, inspire and influence the world by living our life according to the word of God and our lives being a testimony, for the glory of God.
If at times you feel overwhelmed and feel that what you are facing is too much, take a moment to think about our dear Lord Jesus and what He went through in order for us to have eternal life. Jesus is the only one who understands it all and who will feel for us, He knows all our struggles for the bible says that He himself went through it all (Hebrews 4:15).
In all situations, you must praise God. Be it a good day or bad day, praise should not depart from our lips. Today, if you are troubled, don't keep quiet and allow bitter roots to grow inside of you: right now just speak to our soul!
