Have
you ever gone through a time when things appear to be coming apart around at
the seams? You know one of those times when you do not know where to turn, and it
appears that no one cares. You are running around trying to find someone to
help, but you cannot seem to find someone. Well, hang on help is on the way. In
fact, help is closer than you think.
If
you are a Christ-follower, help is right with you, yes, right now. You do not
need to run back and forth trying to find help. You have the Helper right there
with you. Yes, that’s right, He has been with you from the moment that you
became a Christ-follower, and He is still with you.
Jesus told His followers that,
“The
Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will
teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” (Jn
14:26).
So,
when Jesus returned to the Father, the Helper did indeed come and has been here
ever since. The upside of this is that if you are a Christ-follower, He is with
you right now. Now either this is true,
or it is all a useless lie, and Christ
has lied to us on this matter.
But,
let me reassure you that it is true, He is right there in the midst of your
life, even when it appears your life is coming apart at the seams. He will not,
leave you alone to struggle by yourself in the challenges of life, but will walk
through them with you. So, be encouraged, you do actually, know where to turn, and someone does care. Why not stop right
now and refocus. Not on the challenge, but on the one who is your Helper, and
seek His advice and guidance?
Pause
in His presence for a moment and think this over…
