It was just one of those days. You know! One of those days where nothing seems to be going right. One of those days that you would rather just be left alone. One of those days where you have worked your butt off and you still come in last place.
Truth be told, we have all had those days where we have felt defeated and stressed out. I have come to realize that even on THOSE days, we must rise above the fear that tries to come against us.
So I was riding in my car on the way home after a long afternoon. I begin thinking about all that had transpired in one day. Isn't it also funny how when one defeat occurs then you think of all the other defeats you have experienced in life? We concentrate on these things so much that we forget about the victories.
I shook it off! I refused to let the devil get glory in what seemed like the worst timing ever. I begin to thank God for the the victories. I begin praising God in the midst of my situation for the perfect timing in which my life existed.
I have come to the understanding that everything in my life happens for a reason so I can chose to make the best out of it or give in to worry. I can choose to take lemons and turn them into lemonade or I can choose to listen to fear.
At that very moment that I begin to praise God then this song by Zach Williams came on the radio:
When he told you you're not good enough
When he told you you're not right
When he told you you're not strong enough
To put up a good fight
When he told you you're not worthy
When he told you you're not loved
When he told you you're not beautiful
That you'll never be enough
Fear he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
Cause fear he is a liar
As tears begin to flow down my face, I knew God had heard me and this scripture came to mind.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful. Psalm 139:14
We have all had those days but it gives me comfort just to know that God is with me. He is leading every area of my life.
Footnote: Some people are not meant to be taking where God is trying to take you. We have to leave some people behind. God is getting ready to do a new thing in your life that is going to blow your mind.
When you experience rejection, rise above it. When you experience betrayal, rise above it. God will give you the desires of your heart. God will provide you with the right thing at the right time. So don't let fear overtake your life.
So I say this to you! To the sister who feels like your best is not good enough....you are amazing. To the brother, who feels defeated by life....push on.
God is doing a new thing and we can't let fear get in the way.
