Accepting That Life Is Hard In Order To Make Life Easier

Life is hard.  I’m not trying to be a downer, I’m just acknowledging something true.  We live in a fallen world and that means things will be difficult.  However, it’s helpful to know that when we accept the reality that “life is hard” it actually becomes a little bit easier.  Here’s what I mean: When we accept the reality that life is hard, our expectations adjust accordingly.  We know ahead of time that we will run into some obstacles and that understanding helps us cope with the obstacles a little better.

When we know that we are not alone, that makes the struggles of life more tolerable, as well.  So, remember, you are not alone.  “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me...” Psalm 23:4

Keeping Good Company

“Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me…” Psalm 23:4.  It’s exciting to think that no matter what we go through today, we’re not alone.  The Lord God is with us.  That’s some pretty good company to be keeping, huh?

The Blessing of God's Presence With Us

It’s very helpful, encouraging & comforting to know that God is always with us. Fear is stifled—it does not manifest in us—when we have a keen awareness of God’s presence.  “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.” Psalm 23:4

No Fear When He Is Walking With Me

There are things that scare me if I think about facing them alone.  On the other hand, when I really understand that Jesus is with me, it may not be that everything is easy or painless, but His presence makes me know that it will be alright.  When He is with me…it will be alright.  “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me...” Ps.23:4
