GoodNews: HUMBLE YOURSELVES BEFORE THE LORD....

HUMBLE YOURSELVES BEFORE THE LORD, AND HE WILL

  LIFT YOU UP.

                          ( JAMES 4:10 *NIV )

  Dear Brethren,

      Sometimes we all become depressed because of things

  that happen in our lives.  For sometimes we feel; WE ARE 

  HARD PRESSED ON EVERY SIDE, BUT NOT CRUSHED; 

  PERPLEXED, BUT NOT ABANDONED; STRUCK DOWN,

  BUT NOT DESTROYED.      ( 2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-10 )

      Now when you feel the pressures of life remember

  the words of king David, for he wrote; THOUGH I WALK IN

  THE MIDST OF TROUBLE, YOU PRESERVE MY LIFE;

  YOU STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND AGAINST THE ANGER

  OF MY FOES, WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND YOU SAVE

  ME.  ( PSALM 138:7 )

      THEREFORE WE DO NOT LOSE HEART.  FOR OUR

  LIGHT AND MOMENTARY TROUBLES ARE ACHIEVING

  FOR US AN ETERNAL GLORY THAT FAR OUTWEIGHS

  THEM ALL.  SO WE FIX OUR EYES NOT ON WHAT IS

  SEEM, BUT WHAT IS UNSEEN.  FOR WHAT IS SEEN

  IS TEMPORARY, BUT WHAT IS UNSEEN IS ETERNAL.

  ( 2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18 )

      So, HUMBLE YOURSELF, THEREFORE,

  UNDER GOD'S MIGHTY HAND, THAT HE MAY LIFT YOU

  UP IN DUE TIME.  CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM

  BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU!    Amen.

  ( 1 PETER 5:6-7 )
