Got Your Back

Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. -- Isaiah 58:8 NIV

I know you are out there. Things are not entirely well with your life, or maybe things are just flat awful. Lately life has been nothing more than a series of disasters in varying proportions. Some of you I know and am aware of your plight. Please know I am praying for you! Others, I don't know and may never even have met but that doesn't really change the message at all.

You see, one of the wonderful things about the world we live in...for me anyway...is that your struggles have the ability to reach the hearts of unknown numbers of God's children. Through e-mail, texts, Facebook, YouTube, etc., God's children are capable of coming together like never before in history and lifting one another up. People who don't know you and probably don't even know your first name will pray for you and care about you and be there for you!

Most importantly, as it says in the passage from Isaiah, God has your back! Isaiah is talking about seeking God in this chapter and verse 8 is an uplifting message about the protection of God. With God at our rear guard, we're able to gain and maintain momentum in our lives.

Whatever 'it' is...the thing that has been dogging you, whatever mistakes you've made and trouble you've been through, there is no time to waste. You need to understand that God's love is bigger than your circumstances and that He has your back. Run towards God and seek the protection He offers you!
