LIFE STRUGGLES
After our Music rehearsals for gods 2024 I entered my house, prepared lunch and went out to the POS Spot. I was a Little bit tired, so I was managing myself... If I had my way, I would have been sleeping on my bed.
A few minutes later, I saw a neighbor..... We greeted and he sat down. While on his phone, what I heard was "THIS LIFE DON TIRE ME".... immediately I heard this statement I reacted. I asked if he knew the meaning of what he just said and he replied in affirmation.
To be sure that he knows what he just said I asked him: so you mean that like this now you feel like dying and leaving this earth?? He said: as far as I'll make heaven, this earth is not worth living in.
I was like wow.... Alright! So, what are the challenges of life that made you tired of it, He began to list terrible experiences and how he's currently frustrated and so forth...... I said alright..... After highlighting all the issues of life.....
I started with the book of Job.... Let's analyze job and all he went through...we critically outlined and explained his situation.... And yet out of all these he still stood and said "I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVETH"
I gave example with my life..... Some bitter experiences I encountered and also an event that happened to someone two weeks ago... Yet we're all still pressing and striving for a better tomorrow.
I sighted other examples from the scripture and quoted verses of the scripture.... One of which is "MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM ALL....."
And we began to analyze his challenges, some of them were due to lack of proper planning and organization..... We indeed spoke at length and finally I came back and asked him again!
ARE YOU STILL TIRED OF LIFE!???
He burst into laughter and said No! Smiled and thanked God for the wonderful session we had....
Above all, I told him, when you see and hear about others situation you'll thank God for your Life..... Life indeed is SPIRITUAL.... So don't take things for granted.
I do not know what you're going through now.... How critical it is .... But please DO NOT GIVE UP.... trust in the Lord and He'll help you
