"Breath and Hope"

A BLAST FROM THE WORD
BY SANDRA RHYNES

“Breath and Hope”

Job 27:3-4

3 As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils, 4 My lips will not speak wickedness, Nor my tongue utter deceit.

Despair is such an ugly word, yet, we have all been there. All of us have at one time or another been deep in despair. Sometime so deep that we can’t find our way out, we feel like a dark PIT has engulfed us and we can’t see the top, all we can see is the bottom, because that is where we are. STOP and LISTEN…..there IS a way out!!! His name is JESUS CHRIST!!
Job found this out while he was scraping his sores with pieces of pottery. His friends left him and his wife wanted to. He was in despair and alone. Did you know how you act in the PIT is what gets you out of the PIT. You can stay down there and roll around in the miry PIT and continue to say, “Poor me” or you can go to Jesus and pray, keep reading your BIBLE and keep going to CHURCH and keep PRAISING and WORSHIPING Him and be able to get OUT!!! Oh, you can say, “Well you have never been in my shoes,” YES, I have. You don’t really want to die, you just want out of the PIT! I promise you--- if you do these things---you WILL get out of that old stinky PIT. As long as there is the BREATH of GOD is in your body---there is HOPE. PRAISE the LORD of HOST.

Lord and Savior, help me to run to You, and run from satan. I know satan wants me to stay in the pit of darkness and despair. I know satan means to kill me if he can. I speak to this darkness and despair in Your name, the mighty name of JESUS to flee from me. I stand on Your Promises to never leave me nor forsake me. Give me strength and courage. I take my HOPE in You, LORD and I accept YOUR PLAN for MY LIFE. As long as You are with me I am not alone. You are everywhere present. Amen and Amen
