You brush yourself off -pick the ball back up and get back in the game. The worse thing would be to give up and just watch life go by from the dug out.
I was encouraged to read my devo today in Heb 10;
Therefore, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, nor forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Heb 10: 19-25
It really is about not operating in our own strength and abilities! Take a sec to ask yourself, What is it that I trust in? Where is your confidence placed? I have news for you; "girlfriend, you ain't all that!" So, save yourself the hard ache. Know that in hard times, He is our strength and even in our weakest moments we CAN draw near to the Lord. And because our confidence is in Him we have full assurance that we have access to the throne of God anytime we need it. And at the throne is where we find grace and mercy we need for life and again we are stabilized and refreshed. Who needs gatorade right!! Yes, sometimes it may look crazy from the outside when life is falling apart you can still fight, you can still smile but in the power and strength through the holy spirit in you- you will begin to see that without a doubt HE is faithful.
It is a process of pulling out the weeds of doubt and fear that seem to poke through every now and then. Then planting our feet and our words as well as our actions on the truth of God's word. Yes sometimes its hard my friend but when all is said and done- it is soooo worth it! Be encouraged that as you stay in the game, trust God with each moment -> regardless of curve balls and you will find yourself strengthened; soon you will find that you are no longer wavering - you will find that; at some point you begin to focus on life and on the victory that Christ has already set before us!
Here is another GREAT song; it is a fast song but, it brought me to tears when I hear it! It's another confession of mine before such an amazing savior. (Thanks Jess for another amazing song recommendation).
Keep aiming for the fences everyone, the score has been settled. I know the outcome:
We Win!!! Christ has given us the Victory!
-missa
