Thank you Day #12 – Bungee cord faith will always let us down

March 21, 2017 by Suzie 161 Comments

If you came over from Encouragement for Today, welcome! I’m so thankful you are here. We are in the midst of an amazing #livingalifeofthankyou series. Come on in. Make yourself at home. I can’t wait to get to know you better. ~ Suzie

One day I’m going to bungee cord.

I’m going to let them strap me in and I’ll step off. I’ll swoop down like a bird, and then boomerang back up.

It’s on my bucket list and I’ll post pictures when it happens. Maybe some of you will be with me, and we’ll do it together.

As exciting as this sounds, I don’t want the same experience in my faith. I don’t want to feel like I’m stepping off a ledge, only to plummet and then swoop back up, and yet that can happen.

A good day = up.

On a good day, God is good. On a good day, I am good. On a good day, life is working out like I hoped and so God must be in control.

A bad day = down. 

On a bad day, God has forgotten me. I wonder if he sees what is going on. I question whether faith is worth it. Doesn’t faith equal a good life?

In Matthew 7, Jesus describes two houses. One built on the sand. The other on a rock. A storm sweeps down from the mountains, and batters the houses.

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. (Matthew 7:25)

The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!” (Matthew 7:27)

The storm was the same; the outcome was different.

Why?

One house was built on the sand. The other on had its foundation on the rock.

This was no ordinary rock. This rock was under the sand. The builder had to dig deeper to find the rock below. This rock was unmovable, unshakeable. Building the house on the rock took more work. It took more time. It was tempting to set the foundation on the sand and take your chances. If you built your foundation on the rock, it would hold forever.

This verse might sound like Jesus is saying, “Work harder. Do more.”

It’s not that at all. He’s talking to his disciples and followers, whom he loves. He’s telling them that storms will come. We will face adversity. Life will hit us unexpectedly.

Anchor deep.

That’s his loving words to them. Dig deep into your faith. Come closer to me. Fix your heart on what is true over what is temporary. If you do these things, you’ll come through that storm.

I know that some of you are in a storm and the thought of #livingalifeofthankyou feels impossible, and yet Jesus is reaching for you with the same loving instruction:

Dig deeper into your faith, for it will hold you fast.

Fix your heart on what is true over temporary.

Come closer to me. I’m reaching for you.

Feel those hands of yours reaching for him. Yes, that’s faith!

Listen to those words coming from your mouth that say, “It’s hard, but I am not alone.” That’s courage!

Seek him before anything else. That’s building your house on the Rock.

Feel that inner peace that cannot be touched by your outward circumstances. It cannot be robbed. It cannot be taken from you.

Anchor deep, sis.

The skies will clear. The winds will die down. And you’ll be standing. A little battered. A little windblown, but your faith and your feet firmly fixed on the Rock, no matter what the outer circumstances are.

We will have up and down days. Because of Jesus we do not have to have up and down lives. #livingalifeofthankyou #ComeWithMe wp.me/p4jbdw-3YC Click To Tweet

There’s a Savior who loves you. He’s with you, even if you don’t feel it in the moment. Turn toward him. Soak in his presence today, and tomorrow, and the day after that. Invite him in to the bad days, and he promises to walk through them with you.

A good day = God is good and he loves you.

A bad day = God is good and he loves you.

Father, for my sister who is struggling, we are digging deep into our faith today. We aren’t going to rely on feelings, on fickle advice from those who say “just give up.” We feel the wind. We feel the rain. We feel the storm sweeping all around us. Yet we are thankful, for we are anchored in your love. Your strength becomes ours. Your hands hold us above the water, and keep our feet right where they need to be. Whether today is a good day or a bad day, you are good and we praise you for that. In Jesus’ name. 

Back to that bungee cord. When I decide to take the plunge, I’ll tell you. I’ll probably need your prayers as I stand on the edge and take a leap.

As far as my faith, however; you and I will walk a straight line. Our heart secure. Our mind at peace. We’ll have a up and down days, but we won’t live up and down lives.

Suzie

Day #11 of 21 Days to Living a Life of Thank You

All week long we are looking at barriers that keep us from a life of gratitude. Tomorrow we have a special challenge and I can’t wait. I’ll share instructions tomorrow. I hope you’ll come back!

  • Read today’s Encouragement for Today devotion where I shared how I was crying over an answered prayer. God was giving me something good, but because it brought challenges I couldn’t see the good in it.
  • Read Jeremiah 17:8. Draw a tree in your journal or the margin of your Bible next to that verse. Put your name next to that tree. Draw the source of your strength.

    I do need to realize that God is good despite my circumstances. I have a wonderful husband and this year it will be our 20th anniversary. Throughout these years I have prayed for Him to accept the Lord Jesus in his life. He is from a Jewish background and at first seemed open to the Lord. After some years of hemming and hawing, he is definitely not open to my words. I am still involved in my church and read the Word, but desire the fellowship and unity that comes when we have the Lord as our center of the marriage. Pray I would be patient and loving, exhibiting the Lord in all my words and actions. I know this matter is in God’s hands and in His time. I know God is good despite the way life is now. Thank you for your article to inspire and give me faith to wait on the Lord.

    Our current storm is a legal battle that we have found ourselves in because someone is out to intentionally destroy us…actually, it my husband that he wants to destroy but what affects him affects us both. This person is a former state trooper in our small town who, so far, has been able to do and say whatever he wants, with absolutely no regard for the truth and is getting away with it. I have learned that everything I thought I knew about the law is a lie. My husband is facing the possibility of a year in jail (and a huge fine plus court costs) for defending himself against a man with gun who threatened to kill him. I thought the law gave us the right of self-defense but no…not when the person pulling the gun is retired law enforcement. All my husband did was punch him…not the Christian thing to do I admit but not all of us respond with the right words or actions when threatened with a gun. If my husband goes to jail for a year, I don’t see any way that I will be able to keep our home. We are a 2-income family for a reason. We have already had to fork out money we didn’t have to pay for a lazy, shoddy attorney who has done absolutely nothing…but we simply couldn’t come up with enough money to get a decent lawyer but yet because we own our home (well..us and the bank), the judge said he didn’t qualify for a court appointed attorney. Please just pray that God will see us through this storm, and that my husband will be cleared of the charges against him. Thank you!

    Oh what joy to truly live like I really and truly believe that! I want to live that and be an example to my daughters, who have allowed what type of day it is to determine the joy in their lives. I hope this makes sense. My prayer request is for my daughters to live a life of thankfulness no matter what kind of day they may be having.

    I read a wonderful quote today by Dr. Tony Evans (father to Priscilla Shirer), “Faith is acting like it is so, even when it is not so, so that it might be so, simply because God said so.”

    Powerful! It’s one thing to say I have faith and quite another for me to act in alignment with God’s truth, even though I can’t SEE the outcome.

    Praying but also thanking God! I’ve asked the Lord to bring our kids out of public school and back to homeschool. We homeschooled for 3 years, they went back to school this year and the Lord has seen fit to answer our prayers in allowing us to homeschool again, only this time, much like Suzies answered prayer, I too am crunching numbers for potential co-ops with no money planned for curriculum, yet I am being asked to walk by faith and I just can’t see the silver lining…. all I can do I be reminded that God is at the helm, he did say yes, and I have to trust and let go for the rest, here goes…..

    I first want to say thank you for the invite!! It is so warm and personal and I look forward to your words each and every day! My prayer request is that you are able to continue your work to reach out and touch more women in their daily struggle! This reading today was so poignant for me as these last few months have been riddled with fear and anxiety and worry. Somehow between these readings and praying, sometimes out loud and certainly in the middle of the night and early morning hours has helped and His Peace and Serenity comforted me. We just built a house and have been in it now for 6 months and I was thinking about watching it being built on that firm foundation and my Husband and I prayed over every corner of our lot and wrote our family and friends favorite scriptures all over the walls and beams before they dry walled, we also buried our marriage covenant that our 3 girls (we are a blended family, 2nd marriage for both of us) signed along with us in the foundation…talk about built on a rock!!!
    Please pray for my girls and I as we are still in a spiritual and financial battle with my ex husband, their father. Please pray that he and his mothers eyes and hearts become open to what they owe us financially via a court order and judgment as well as back child support. I fret over this every day and I want to be free from it and I want Brooklyn and Claire’s hearts healed form the hurt and abandonment…

    Thank you, in His Name, AMEN AND AMEN!! God Bless You!

    I was a little surprised recently when I took a spiritual gifts assessment. They had changed dramatically. I remember my friend telling me almost 2 years ago that I will come out of a negative broken pit I call the black hole. Depression, anger, unforgiveness and open wounds of rejection. “You will get through this and you will come out of this stronger than you have ever been. God is with you and I believe this to be true.”
    At the time she was one of the few that showed love, not pity, grace instead of avoidance. The assessment confirmed what we both knew was true. I had emerged stronger. I glowed with God’s love.
    I know God is preparing a hard right turn in my path. I want to know the Why, What, and How. I get little steps. I am still discovering insights about myself, and my roots grow a little deeper. They are attached to bedrock deep below the surface. It helps me when I am afraid. I am so grateful for this 21-day adventure learning about myself.

      Oh Lyn! How I get this! I was also dragged into a pit of negativity, depression, anger, bitterness, wounds of rejection – all of it and more! And I also just KNEW WITH ALL MY HEART that God was going to use it ALL for His glory, and my good. Why? Because I was determined to keep seeking His will above my own, listening to His voice above all the others, surrendering to His passions instead of succumbing to my own. It has NOT been easy. Our human nature is completely opposite from the Lord’s, and when we are broken and hurt it’s even harder to reject our desire to lash out, get back, or give in. But Praise God, He has given us a great Helper! By the power of the Holy Spirit, and the truth and comfort of God’s word, we can have victory over all of it! It’s not to say we won’t stumble. I have many times. But we keep seeking and striving. And He is absolutely faithful! I promise you — He is faithful! “For we know, that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 I cling to this verse every day! I love that you are looking INWARD instead of focusing only on the outward. That’s so key! God’s got this! You’re doing all the right things! Blessings to you

    I have had a lot of bad days in the past several months since I lost my Dad. I believe that God is with me, and I believe with all my heart that my Dad is with God in Heaven. But that doesn’t make me miss him any less. My Dad was my compass. He always seemed to know just the right things to say and do to keep me on the straight and narrow. I’m beginning to see that I allowed my Dad to come before God. When I should have sought God in prayer, I called my earthly Father instead. I have repented for that, and I know I am forgiven, but I still miss my Dad. I miss his laugh, his wisdom, his love. I struggle with my grief every day. I would ask that you pray for me to find peace and that I would seek God first from here on out.

    I needed this today. To remember God’s truth, and not to listen to everyone telling me give up. Strong Faith. Thank you for your encouragement.

    Thanks for the encouraging words. I’ve been working through the loss of my father and it has been so incredible how God brings just the right words I need to hear at just the right time.

    I woke this morning feeling hopeless. Your devotion was what I needed to hear. God is my Rock! That’s all that matters.

      De, I’m so sorry. I am sending hugs from MO your way. Praying that you feel Jesus wrap you up in him arms today as he offers his love, acceptance, and comfort. May you feel surrounded by encouragement in the midst of your trial.

      Dee, when we stand on the rock we can’t be hopeless. He is the ruler of all. Praise Him, Worship Him, Stand in His Word. At the end of a bad day we can look up and instead of darkness we see His light. Live for eternity.

    I praise God that a complete stranger lifted me up this morning by responding to a need in my life. God is good!
