Have you ever been in a bus full of people and you didn't have a seat and there was nothing to hang on to? It is difficult when we all of a sudden find ourselves in a speeding bus with nothing to hang on to.
People come to the time when it seems the days are speeding by and it's a rocky road and there is nothing to hang on to to hold us secure.
Perhaps you feel you have lost control with nothing to hang on to? People say to us, "Hang in there old buddy," and there isn't anything we know to hang on to.
There is, thank the Lord, something to hang on to. The Lord gives us his solemn promise ant that is what helps the believer, the Christian, to stand solid when all around us there is everything happening.
The promise is a good one. I have a friend who has blood cancer and he tells me he is hanging on to this promise and is confident that he will not fall.
The promise is in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
Beloved, the Lord is worthy of our trust. He never fails and He will never fail you. It's so easy to trust in our own strength, our own will, and our own thoughts. But God says not to trust anybody, not even yourself because friends will fail, and you will fail, but the Lord never fails.
Does it seem that nobody cares and you are seemingly tossed about like a feather on the waves of the sea?
The message we have for you is that there is hope. There is help. There is something to hang on to that will never ever fail you.
Why not this Sunday morning put your trust in Jesus and let Him take over and hold you tight? He wants to do just that.
- Confess to Him that you are a failure, a sinner
- Believe that Jesus is your Savior and trust Him.
- Then thank him for the gift of salvation.
- Thank him for the gift of security.
- Thank him for the gift of hope.
