Weekly Devotional – Jesus Will Still Be There
Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT): "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest".
My friends, these past couple of weeks have been very difficult for several of us in the Speak Boldly family. For me personally, it has been a time of questioning and painful struggles… but I was reminded of the lyrics to a song that my mother and I sang at my brother’s funeral. Jesus will still be there… no matter what.
I do not have a great amount of wisdom to share this week in regards to handling the personal struggles experienced from not only myself, but those I love so dearly. What I can share is the belief in the lyrics to this song, and I pray every one of us can hold this close during difficult times.
“Things change, plans fail.
You look for love on a grander scale.
Storms rise, hopes fade
And you place your bets on another day.
When the going gets tough, when the ride's too rough,
When you're just not sure enough.
Jesus will still be there.
His love will never change,
Sure as a steady rain,
Jesus will still be there.
When no one else is true,
He'll still be lovin' you.
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer,
Jesus will still be there.
Time flies, hearts turn,
A little bit wiser from lessons learned.
But sometimes weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again.
When the going gets tough, when the ride's too rough,
When you're just not sure enough.
Jesus will still be there.
His love will never change,
Sure as a steady rain,
Jesus will still be there.
When no one else is true,
He'll still be lovin' you.
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer,
Jesus will still be there.”
- Lyrics from Point of Grace
Prayer: May God bring peace in times of struggle. May you feel His arms of mercy, grace, love, and comfort during difficult times.
God you are the God of ALL THINGS, not just what is comfortable, but give us the strength to know YOU are always with us.
