Ever have days like this when it seems everything
we are trying to do goes wrong? Plans we had for our day get changed, the work
that lies at hand seems to drag, nothing fits, everything doesn't go as we had
hoped, and everybody seems to have a grudge, and even our God seems far away because our prayers seem to go
unanswered.
If such days come, and they seem to, remember you
are “All the children of God by faith in Chris Jesus, for as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
Christ.” Galatians 3, 26.27.
That means as a child of God you are not, you are never alone, even
when it seems as your prayers are not heard. God is there, for His name is ‘Emmanuel’,
God with us. Cling to that, mark it well, and live according to it.
Here is a hymn verse to remember:
“Baptized into
Your Name most holy,
O Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost.
Claim a place. Though weak and lowly,
Among your saints,
Your chosen host.
Buried with
Christ, and dead to sin,
Your Spirit
now shall live within”.
LSB 590,1
In the dark days you may face, remember Christ is
at your side, His Spirit dwells in you.
