This is going to be a short blog with a specific message today. I hope that if you are reading this and you feel a little down or discouraged that you will know God Himself ordained this word especially for you.

Psalm 124:1,2,3,7 - "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,When men rose up against us, Then they would have swallowed us alive...Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowler's; The snare is broken, and we have escaped!"
.
You made it!
You are still here!
You are free!
You survived to tell about it!
.
Anything you face now or in the future has an assurance that you can do all things through Christ's power at work in you, and you are already a conqueror who has a record of wins, and the statistics bear witness that you can make it and win it! You've gained some patience, wisdom and life experience that you now KNOW in whom you believed and you have a confidence in His ability and faithfulness. You are intimately aware ,because you experienced it, that seasons come and seasons definitely go, so you know if you hold on and bear it, it will pass. You also can verify that though you may not see the resources or the answer to the problem that they will eventually appear before it is all over to rescue, deliver and provide so you come to realize you aren't going waste the value of your energy, time and effort on worry, stress or fear.
.
These are the rights of passage of those of us who have lived to tell about it!
.
So no matter what you are facing, no matter what you are feeling, no matter what you were just sitting thinking about...just stop and celebrate, be happy and rejoice. Your soul has escaped a snare, and the snares that sought to entrap you are no more. You are liberated, free and empowered to remain that way. Like David said to himself one day, "Why so downcast o my soul, put your trust in God!" And he was right!
