Rescuing Myself

Have you ever sat back and analyzed your life? Have you assessed the things that bring your anxiety to an all time high? When was the last time you really looked in the mirror and looked at yourself and said, "A lot of the things I am going through I have caused?"

Don't get upset, lets be real with ourselves. We get upset with our children because they are not motivated and don't have respect; but they see us sitting in front of the TV daily or sitting around a group of people daily. They don't see you get up and show ambition, goals or values. You barely show them affection. And when they ask a question you tell them to go sit down somewhere and leave you alone. I'm not judging we need to rescue ourselves.

I often hear I'm waiting on God. But God is not coming for a slouch, someone that is procrastinating, someone that is not doing for themselves. He is seeking workers. Ruth was working in the field when she found her Boaz. She walked in obedience to her leader. When the woman with the issue of blood was healed she sought after Jesus. She touched Him. She didn't wait on others to figure out what was wrong. She exhausted her resources and she heard Jesus was coming and pressed through the crowd. Her spirit was quickened. She was at her rock bottom. And she went and got her healing.

I said that to say, "Get Up and Get Out Your Own Way!" do something different. Stop sitting around waiting on something or someone to give you a handout. Yes you/we made mistakes and will continue to make them. But they are necessary. They are necessary for you to rise up, they are necessary for you to touch someone else's life. They are necessary for your testimony. Remember Psalm 119:71 "It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your statues."

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You are not the only one going through. Get up, walk in your now/next. And live and not exist. God is with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you, He is there. He will lead and guide you. Seek Him with your heart. Cast your cares upon the Lord, He cares for you...
