I really felt bad, maybe some will say sinful.....This morning I felt so remote, I felt as if spiritually I was totally lost....Normally I wake and thank God for another day, very often I have a tune in my heart, but around 5am I found this not so today.....I was, as Scripture says, "Greatly troubled."----I tossed and turned and no where could I get out of this slum.....I tried talking with God and could not find Him, I tried a couple of Christian tunes, no help there....I was out there all by myself. I really began to think the devil had a hold on me, maybe even had me.....a dark, dark feeling. However, I went through my morning steps, computer, Scripture, then to my Billy Graham book on Angels.....several pages into this and I was still totally lost, an Easter Morning and I CAN NOT get connected----that my friend is what we call a "SAD SITUATION."-----"Then from nowhere came to me something that somewhere in the past week I read where there are times in our lives that we feel that God is nowhere to be found---this is a time of God checking our faith." James wrote---Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Back years ago when I taught S.S and spoke at several different churches I often used the example of you and a friend stomping through the woods and your friend falls into a quick-sand pit, then you go find a long branch and get it to him, if he takes hold, he gets saved, if he does not, then he sinks and dies in that quick-sand pit,----life is like that, we fall into the world of pleasures & we find ourselves sinking deeper & deeper, God, through His Son Jesus Christ reaches out to us, if we take a hold we live, if not we die in our sins.......

Through this post you can see a human struggle, but keep the faith, God is always there.....

God Bless and wear a smile----life is good even when we think we have a box of rocks
