Don't Let Your Wipe-Outs Become Your Cop-Outs

Ever feel like your day is a complete wipe-out? Maybe you are feeling beaten up by waves today; sinking in the storms of life. Some days I need strength just to hold my head up.

When waves of fear, insecurity, discouragement or stress hit, we are only human, and tend to take our eyes off of Jesus too. Our human nature causes us to worry or fret over big and small things, and we may begin to sink in our reality.

Many people give up far too easily when things don't go their way or they face adversity. Instead of persevering, they get down and discouraged, which is understandable, especially when they've struggled with a problem for a long time.

Our circumstances in life may occasionally knock us down, but we must not stay down. Even if you can't see up on the outside, get up on the inside.

God is big enough to do the things you have labeled impossible. - Kathy Troccoli

For every set back, God has a major comeback.

There is a blessing to be found in our darkest moments. So don't allow yourself to wave the white flag of surrender. Ride the wave. Be determined to persevere.

"We all ride the waves of life. Some waves come crashing down on us. And some take us high above the horizon. But we wave riders all have one goal in common and that is to reach the shore before we drown. I don't know about you, but I can't ride the waves without my surf board." - Dalinda Powell

Sometimes waves hurt, and reality isn’t always fun or stress-free - but we do still have to live there. Fortunately, the peace of Jesus can live in reality with us too, and His Presence will always master the waves.

Blessings,
Dalinda
