In the Shadow of the O' Rugged Cross...

I've had some disappointments this week.....some trials, some events I wish just didn't exist. Yes it's true blog readers, sometimes things just don't work out the way that I want them to. :) It's true. I know, unheard of, huh? Sometimes life just makes you want to stay in bed, pull the covers all the way up and say......"Is it really worth all the trouble?"
The truth of the matter is.......is that Satan is busy doing his job. And yes, he's good at what he does. He's a pro......been doing it for decades. But it seems like to me that whenever God starts to move in my life.......here comes trouble. Something pulls me this way......and something else starts pulling me the other way. The Word of God says that a man's heart is evil and deceitfully wicked. That's what it says. And because I know this truth....I never follow the old heathen saying....."Just follow your heart." Hmmm, no......I choose to follow Jesus. Some of us are caught up in sin because of our own choices. Satan has nothing to do with it. It's not always easy to do what's right. The flesh and spirit battle against each other every day. Daily, we must choose to take up our O' Rugged Cross and follow Christ.
But you know what? It is worth all the trouble. God is love. He's merciful and at the same time, Just. And He's holy. I know nothing else in this world that is holy.....just Him.
You see, I'm a sinner. Imperfect, guilty, hopeless.....sinner. But because of what Jesus did for me.....up on the hill called Calvery. Calvery.....He chose me. He chose you. It takes my breath away when I contemplate exactly what He accomplished that day. You nor I will ever, ever know anyone in our lives that would do for us, what He did. Ever. Be honest. That is just how much He loves us. Love. That's what He is.
Jesus..........He's the answer to all our problems. He's the true meaning of life. And He has never, ever let me down. Ever. People do....and they always will. That's where we get ourselves in trouble....when we put a person in the center of our lives. Another human being is not capable of fulfilling all of our needs. Only God can.
So this day....I choose to take up my O' Rugged Cross......and follow Jesus down the path of righteousness. What road are you traveling?
