Just hold on

Do you ever wonder?

“Why is this happening?”

You see things happening, and you feel powerless to stop them. Maybe you aren’t, or maybe you are.

You wonder what your mission really is, or why you even signed up to begin with.

Maybe you feel betrayed, or ignored, or forgotten.

You have issues with getting older, or with health in general, whether your own, or that of those around you.

You can’t even count on M (as in money, i.e., Ben Bernanke, or someone else) to always be there for you.

You feel like the sky is falling.

The good news is, its not. It’s just life, in good times, and in bad. The promise is there for us that we have more to look forward to, but not necessarily in the here, or the now. You just need to hold on. So do I.

I heard the following lyrics in the car the other day, and knew they were too good not to share:

Sometimes it’s hard to keep believing
In what you can’t see
That everything happens for a reason
Even the worst life brings
If you’re reaching for an answer
And you don’t know what to pray
Just open up the pages
Let His word be your strength

And hold on to the promises
Hold on to the promises
Jesus is alive so hold tight
Hold on to the promises

All things work for the good
Of those who love God
He holds back nothing that will heal you
Not even His own Son
His love is everlasting
His faithfulness unending
Oh, if God is for us who can be against us
So if you feel weak

Neither life, nor death
Could separate us
From the eternal love
Of our God who saves us*

Maybe the sky is falling, after all. It’s OK. It was never really your home to begin with.

Just hold on…
