So I wouldn’t let go

We live in a super fast microwave world where everyone wants everything instantly! We multi-task and try to get all the things required of us done in a day but like some people run out of money before they run out of month, I generally run out of day before I run out of my work load. This causes stress and that leads to a system that is run down and leaves us vulnerable to sickness, which then causes other problems, it’s like Dominoes falling one on top of the other! So what do we do? The Psalmist said, 34:6 “This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.”  Psalm 38:8 “I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.”

David wanted to give up, but he had already written an assurance in 34:18 “The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.”We know from reading that promise if our heart is broken God is near to us and if we are sorry and take responsibility for our sin, He saves us!

Sometimes when we are having problems we tend to pull into ourselves and shut out those that might be able to help us, the One we should never shut out is God, He knows it all. There is a song I listened to today it’s called “So I wouldn’t let go” “I almost let go. I felt like I just couldn’t take life anymore. My problems had me bound Depression weighed me down, But God held me close, so I wouldn’t let go. God’s mercy kept me, so I wouldn’t let go. I almost gave up. I was right at the edge of a breakthrough but couldn’t see it, the devil really had me; but Jesus came and grabbed me, and He held me close, So I wouldn’t let go. God’s mercy kept me, so I wouldn’t let go. So I’m here today because God kept me. I’m alive today, only because of His grace. Oh, He kept me, God kept me, He kept me, So I wouldn’t let go.” 

Psalm 3:3-4 But you, GOD, shield me on all sides; You ground my feet, you lift my head high; With all my might I shout up to GOD, His answers thunder from the holy mountain.KJV says, “You are the lifter of my head!”
