Will You Be Overwhelmed Or Will You Overcome?

Ever feel as if the odds are stacked against you? And, as if things weren’t bad enough, the odds continued to pile up higher and higher? It’s almost as if whatever you do, whatever you say, nothing works, nothing falls in place, nothing goes your way. Instead of making PROGRESS, whatever that may be, you find yourself moving backwards or simply not moving at all.

When moments like this happen (and don't fool yourself…you’re either in a crisis, just found your way out of one, or are about to enter into one) it’s easy to become distraught, frustrated, anxious, and depressed. Hope becomes more of an ideal than a reality.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV

Jesus knew we’d encounter moments, days, weeks, possibly even years like this. He knew we were going to get smacked in the face by the daily struggles of life. He knew. And because he knew he offered an answer…himself. Instead of focusing the crap, turn your attention to the CROSS. Let me say that again, instead of focusing on the crap, turn your attention to the CROSS.

He is the antidote. He is the remedy. He is the solution.

Don’t choose to be overwhelmed by today’s struggles, instead find REST in Jesus for he has already overcome. That means you can kick defeat in the face and stand in VICTORY!
