Tuesday’s Devotion: Life Comes Back!


Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

I watched an episode of Rookie Blue a while back.  Generally I don’t remember much about episodes but one scene stayed with me.  A man who was very upset because his wife, tired of physical abuse was leaving him, pulled a gun and was holding her hostage.  The police try to negotiate a peaceful ending.  When the man expresses his anger about losing his job and all his other misfortunes, the officer replies, “Life comes back.” Three simple words --life comes back.  Often we have disappointments; failures; discouragements.  And yet life comes back if we trust God to be with us and for us in our efforts.  It may not be in the way we imagined but life comes back.

Holy God, encourage us where we are discouraged, comfort us where we are sad, restore in us the joy of our salvation.  We ask in the name of the one who has overcome the world. Amen.
Have a blessed day,
Paige
