Life on the Cliff: Recent Episodes
Queen E. Phillips
Sometimes it seems like things are worse after you receive Jesus Christ. You're pushed to the edge of life's cliff and your thoughts are, give up, forget this! But be persistent in your desire to be faithful and God will rescue you!
The week has just begun and you've probably faced several challenges already. Jesus said in John 16:33, "The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!" Expect things to happen, but what will save you is peace--His peace through union with Him. So, although you're on the edge of an emotional cliff, look up and enjoy the view and embrace the Presence of Peace.
Trusting someone with your heart other than Christ causes great pain and big trouble. But the reality is there's only One you can trust with your heart. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1. He knows about betrayal!
I'd always believed having a weakness was negative so, I lived on the edge of an emotional cliff. But one day I looked through lens of faith and had hope. My weakness was an opportunity to experience God's power. His strength sustained me when I was emotionally unstable. It was His grace that kept me from jumping off the cliff.
Do you have a weakness? If so, grace is available to keep you from falling off the cliff.
When we take the minute things of life so serious, become so emotionally unstable and we're living on the edge of an emotional cliff. The wisest man who ever lived says everything had already been decided; it was known long ago. Since your destiny is in God's view, look up from the cliff and let Him keep you from falling off the cliff.
I can understand why some people say life is unfair and I respect that. I said that too at one time while living on the cliff of adversity and disappointment. But one day my perspective changed. Rather than always looking down fearful of falling off the cliff, I made the decision to look up. What I envisioned in future secured me while on the cliff.
