I haven't wrote a blog in a while but the Lord has really been working in my life in many things...been so busy with church activities, work, and just things that I haven't taken the time to share what I feel like I need to share this has been on my heart today and pray that it blesses someone.....
Sometimes in life it takes your world getting darker and darker before you can see who the day star in your life is, he is the only one that can bring you out of the wilderness that you are in.
I once heard a story of a man that had an old barn on his property the barn had been there since he was a small child and the man wasn't very young at all. He had always admired the barn, and one day as he was walking around he noticed that the old barn was leaning he stopped and thought about how old the barn was, it had stood through many storms in life, it had been through the bitter cold in the winter, to the hottest days of summer. It had been through tornadoes, and even hurricanes but it was still standing just leaning a little. He took some strong pine lumber and propped the barn up on its leaning side so it would not fall. As the man begin to leave the barn he stopped one more time to take a look and was reminded of his own life and how through many times in his life he had been on an emotional hurricane, how storms had come and gone in his life, how many times he had leaned toward quitting, giving up, going back to the life he once lived but was reminded through those times the Lord propped him up on his leaning side.
I believe God puts people in each others lives to prop us up at times just as he did in the bible for example God put Moses in Aaron life to prop him up....Aaron had a leaning problem..Just when he would start leaning Moses would remind him that he was a chosen one of God.
Then in Ex 17 Moses had his hands up it was almost like a funnel. As long as Moses held his hands up Israel would not be defeated but as soon as he would let his hands down they would be defeated. As long as his hands were up the battle was being won. When his hands got tired Aaron and Hur one on one side and the other on the other side and they held his hands in the air for him (Ex 17:12But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.) If you think about this it could come to realization that some of the people that you are propping up today are going to be propping you up tomorrow. This was the case with Moses and Aaron.
God put Jonathan in the life of David to prop him up to keep him in line. We need friends in our life that can sense when we are in trouble or making the wrong decisions that will stand up and tell us that we need to be doing differently. I am thankful that the Lord has given me a friend in my life that does that to me. When we go through our weak times we have someone to encourage us to stand up, keep going, do not fall, do not turn back to the things of the world. We need good friends that are willing to prop us up on our leaning side.
Just when you think I cant take it anymore, I am going to lose it, I am going to fall Jesus knows and the Holy Ghost will prop us up on our leaning side.
God knows what you are facing, he know what you are fighting, he knows when we are fearful, he knows when we are falling and he will prop you up on your leaning side during these times.
You may lean but you will not fall.
If you lean on Jesus no matter what you are going through, no matter what you are facing, no matter how bad you might think that you feel He will prop you up on your leaning side.
You dont have to throw in the towel, you don't have to quit, you don't have to give up. Maybe all hope is gone in some situation in your life could even be your marriage, and you are leaning toward the negative things in life, or maybe just having a weak season that we all have from time to time. he will come running to prop you up on your leaning side during this time.
Just remember what he said in his word I will never leave you nor forsake you!
