When The Night Is Long 11/25/2024

 Good Morning,

My mug is sitting next to me and it is filled with hot Door County Cherry Crème Coffee. It is time to write. 

Sometimes the nights can seem so long when we are in physical pain. The night drags on and the agony seems to be worse just because it is night time. The agony of the night also is tough to bear when we are confronted with our own sins and our separation from God. In our effort to control our own lives we often find ourselves facing consequences that continually haunt us. We look for solutions to our troubles, and Satan offers many suggestions. 

All of his solutions do not lead us to the throne of God and the humility to ask God to forgive us. Satan spreads the cancer of doubt as to whether we are fit to be forgiven. If we are broken, we are fit to receive forgiveness. Jesus did not come to fix a perfect world. He came to save us. the "Imperfect". 

If this is you and the nights seem so long and God seems so distant pray through this. 

James 4:8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. 

Hebrews 4:16 Let us with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and grace to help in time of need. 

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

Psalm 86 12-13 I will glorify Your name forever more. For great is your mercy toward me.

If this is you right now, get down on your knees and seek the Lord. He is waiting for you.

Love you all.

Marty
