Stuck

Stuck is the place where nothing seems to be happening. It can be a place of frustration or pain, unless faith rises up within you.

Millions of Jews felt stuck as they were trapped by a Red Sea with Pharaoh's angry army breathing down their neck. Jeremiah may have felt stuck when he was thrown in a muddy cistern. Daniel could have felt stuck when he spent the night with hungry lions. It looked like Paul and Silas were stuck when they were chained in a dungeon and only a song separated them from freedom and victory. In each case, faith turned stuck into temporarily delayed.

Maybe you feel stuck in life. You don't seem to be moving forward. Nothing really seems to be clicking for you. Without faith, you could feel really stuck right now in your circumstances. To that stuck, I want to speak Bible words of faith.

Remember that you were not born to finish stuck. You were born in God to finish his plan. Refuse to yield to sorrow and despair. Speak to your situation by faith, and say as to a mountain, be moved and cast into the sea. Faith speaks, and faith refuses to see things as finished when there is still work to be done. Faith in Christ Jesus says to that stuck feeling, we will prevail. By faith, we shall overcome.

Put your faith and your mouth to work today, and say, I am not stuck. I am just waiting on the Lord to open the windows of heaven and bring me to my promised end! God is my deliverer, and I will not be afraid. I will be strong and of good courage and finish my assignment on planet earth for Him! To God be the glory, Amen.

Mark
