Psalm 59:16
16. But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your
love;
for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
This is a true story that happened during World War Two.
One morning, the Germans were testing a huge Blimp, they had the
Blimp anchored down on the ground with a big cable and also had about
twenty to thirty men hanging onto the Blimp with ropes. All of a sudden
the big cable broke loose from the anchor on the ground and the huge
Blimp started rising into the sky. Some of the men that were hanging
onto the ropes let go right away, some hung on as the blimp rose higher
and higher.
One by one the men could not hold on any longer and started
falling, at first some only broke their legs but as the Blimp got higher
and higher they all started falling to their deaths. After a while there
was only one man still hanging on. By this time there were several
news media personal on the site covering the story. Then after several
hours the Germans finally, somehow managed to get the Blimp back down on
the ground. When they did, all the news people ran over to the one man
that was still hanging onto the rope and asked him, "How did you do it!?
How did you hang on so long!?" The man replied, "I simply tied the rope
around me and let the rope hold me"
Sometimes life is hard, there is divorce, deaths in the family,
relationships, financial situations, many different hardships in our
lives that can causes grief, stress, depression, even suicidal thoughts.
I don't know about you but I'm glad I can put my hope,
strength, my life in the hands of Christ and let him simply hold me.
If your going through something difficult in your life, try
Jesus. Just ask him to help no matter what kind of situation your in. He
is always there to hold you up in times of trouble!

Psalm 40:1-3
Psalm 40:1-3 (New International Version)
1. I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2. He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3. He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible.
There is an old saying "If you're in a hole, stop digging" Like me a lot
of people, fall into a pit or hole they have made for themselves. People
get into relationships, drugs, bad habits, etc. when they realize where
they are it's to late. For example, me...I just started hanging out with
some bad friends...then....started smoking, just to be cool... then a
beer or two.... then marijuana...them Cocaine....then dealing
drugs....then stealing to support my habit...then jail time...the list
goes on.... I was in so deep, I couldn't make it out on my own.
Then one day I cried out to God, because I had no where to look,
but up. Jesus turned to me reached down and lifted me out of the pit I
had created for myself, he forgave my sins, took away my shame, he set
my feet on the foundation of his word and put a new song in my mouth.
Jesus gave me a new life, a new attitude, a place that was safe and
secure.
If your in a place where you feel trapped or feel like your in a
pit and feel there is no way out...take it from me there is! JESUS! If
you hear a voice, or people say that there is no way out for you, Don't
believe it! It's a lie! You can make it out no matter how far down we
are, Jut cry out to God for help. His words are true. He will rescue
you!
