Nov.30.00: Light For The Day - "Feeling Overwhelmed By Problems" -- Psalm 116:1,2 (NCV) "I love the LORD, Because He listens to my prayers for help. He paid attention to me, So I will call to Him for help as long as I live." ------------------------- God's blessings are dispensed according to the riches of His race, not according to the depth of  our faith. "If we are not faithful, He will still be faithful, because He cannot be false to Himself"  (2Tim.2:13). Why is that important to know? So you won't get cynical. Look around you. Aren't there more mouths than bread?  Aren't there more wounds than physicians? Aren't there more who need the truth than those who tell it? So what do we do?  Throw up our hands and walk away?  Tell the world we can't help? No, we don't give up.  WE LOOK UP. WE TRUST. WE BELIEVE. And our optimism is not hollow.  Christ has proven worthy.  He has shown that He never fails.  That's what makes God, God. Prayer: Father, when we are weak, You are strong. When we have no faith, You have faith. Thank You for being true to us even when we forget You. Thank You for being faithful even when we are not. -- Max Lucado ------------------------- -- Jeremiah 29:11-13 (RSV) "For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart."
