Dig Your Heels In
Who loves wearing heels?
Before you think of any footwear, let me just tell you that this article is beyond the heels you're looking at. It revolves about keeping the faith in the midst of all problems. Times get tough as we take our journey. There will come a time that we'll be surrounded by surmountable problems which are really beyond our control. It's inevitable! Nobody can't avoid them from coming. In other words, problems are known to everyone.
Whether you're rich or poor. Whether you're single or married Whether you're a worker or a businessman Whether you live in a bungalow or live in a mansion,
Problems are part of our lives. But the crucial part here is the we way we resond. Are we going to give in? Or are we going to dig our heels in? Digging our heels in means refusing to give in. In life, we need to refuse giving in to the challenges we're facing. Dig in your heels. Take a strong grip on God. Don't give up! There's a greater future ahead when we keep digging our heels in. Stay committed in whatever task you're into right now and see how God will turn things around.
Dig your heels in and show the world you're more than a conqueror. Go above all those mountains of problems and shout victory. The Lord promised that He will work out all His plans in our lives:
The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. -Psalms 138:8 NLT
Are overwhelmed by problems right now? Do you need someone to listen to you? Pls don't hesitate to ask help from your loved ones. If you're not comftable opening up to them, you can comment down below all the things you've been bottling up. We'll pray for you. You can't dig your heels all by yourself. You need a support system. Above all, we need the Lord. Let me share first the things I'm bottling up lately:
I got disappointed at church. Many leaders are becoming cold when it comes to any fellowship. 80% of them have stopped ministering.
Some of my friends got pregnant out of wedlock. And what's more painful is they're youth leaders. I got so discouraged because of this.
My mother is suspected of having kidney stones. When it comes to this kind of disease, I'm already traumatized because my brother has gone through Chronic kidney disease. I've seen how difficult it is to deal with this. I'm afraid that my mother will also have it.
I got laid off from my job. I don't have any tutorial as of this moment. As a breadwinner, this gives me anxiety attack. Don't know where i will get money for all our needs at home.
So work up with these issues but praise God, He's always on my side. During my devotion this week, God has been reminding me to keep my heels in. He reminded me to never give in to these life concerns. He also used this worship song to stir up my faith:
He is my faithful Father Calling me out of the dark Night cannot whisper away what He said in the light. He is my firm foundation My anchor won't be moved Storms may collide but my soul is on fire with His word
Wind listen to the sound The power on my lips Jesus has broken the curse He has never lost a battle Who are you great mountain? That you should not bow low? Jesus defeated the darkness He has never lost a battle
Who are you great mountain? Who are you great mountain? Who are you great mountain? Who are you great mountain? Who are you great mountain? Who are you great mountain? Who are you great mountain? Who are you great mountain?
Who are you great mountain? That you should not bow low? Jesus defeated the darkness He has never lost a battle
And He never will, He never will And He never will, He never will And He never will, He never will And He never will, He never will
Our great defender Our strong tower He has never lost a battle. He has never lost a battle
Who can ever defeat Jesus? Can any problem separate us from the love of the LORD? None and no one! So my dear read.cash friends, KEEP YOUR HEELS IN :)
