The Struggle We All Will Face.

I don't know about anyone else, but I know that I personally have been in a struggle just to keep my mind steady and straight the last few months! I am being extremely honest about this. I am not trying to blow anything out of proportion, nor am I trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. I am simply being blunt, straight forward and truthful!

I am struggling again this morning. This struggle has had various effects on me. One thing that it has done is it has robbed me of sound sleep, and some nights, even not allowing me to sleep at all. It has effected my digestive system, it has made it impossible to be comfortable in any way. It has also affected my desire and ability to get out into the world. There have been days that have gone by that I have not even left the house. You may say "That's No Biggie!", it is for me. I am one of those who wakes up in the morning and is ready to roll out and move around all day long!

I am also seeing that my attitude towards others, both family and strangers, is not what it once was.

It is as if there is a sense of hopelessness that has settled down in every area of my life.

This IS the struggle we all face eventually... The Impossibility of Staying On Top of Life All The Time!!!!!!!

I am doing a lot of praying and staying in my Bible and read, read, read and read some more!

I am reminded of a parable that is located in:

Mark 12:1-9

"And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others."

The Lord of theVinyard was thrust into a situation he did not want to be in. He found himself in a struggle that did not ever turn out right for him. He was not able to walk on the "High Side" of life. He lost his only son. What a tragedy and Shame!

Jesus in verse 10 pointed out that he was indeed the Son sent from the Father.

Mark 12:10 - "And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:"

You know what... Jesus is still being rejected today!

If we really take the time to focus on this truth, the rejection of Jesus Christ by the lost of this world and also by His own Children, those who are saved. Yes, we even now reject Him each and every day as Christians.

Look at Churches and the way they are closing their doors in record numbers, Preachers are falling into open sin seemingly left and right, day and night. Oh, how we need an awakening to Holy Living, an awakening to His Word and His Will for our lives.

If you look at "Man" enough, yes you will struggle, because Man will let you down, he will disappoint you. However, Look to Jesus, He will Never fail you.

You may ask me, "How are you doing now?" I would have to respond, "I am doing Great! Because I am Looking Daily to Him Who Can Lift the Burden from my Heart!"

Please remember to pray for each other today!

God Bless You,

Evangelist David Dunn
