1. Job cursed the day of his birth - friends, we all have days when it seems that anything that can go wrong does go wrong. We then ask why we have days like this? There is no clear cut answer, except to say that we live in a "fallen world" and there is simply evil all around us.
2. God has a plan for each of us - I want to encourage everyone listening to this podcast today. I want to encourage you by reading Jeremiah, Chapter 29, and reading verses 11-13. God has a plan for each of us. He wants us to be well; He doesn't want any harm to come to us. We need to put our trust in God, and God alone.
3. If you are depressed, or feel down and out, do NOT turn to drugs or alcohol. That is never the answer and will not solve your problems - I review verses 29-33 of Proverb 23 - which talk of the dangers of Turing to these drugs.
Call to Action - Ask God if you are depressed, or down and out about anything at all going on in your life. If there is, ask Him to intervene and give you a solution to the situation. I believe He will hear your prayer and give you an answer.
Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 23 in its entirety.
