Getting out of the pit!

We all have pits in our lives. Pits are even worse than ruts. The problem is not the pit but staying in it. We are responsible for seeking a way out. We may find ourselves thrown into some pits- some we jump into. But regardless of how you ended up in it, don’t let the pit get in you and make you “pitiful”. You can not make the pit your home and fulfill your purpose. Don’t believe the lie that you are suppose to live in the pit. We were never created to live in dark places. John 8:12, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

We have all experienced the consequences of our choices both, good and bad. The Good News is Daddy God can work ALL things to your good. In Matthew 5 Jesus says, “you are the light of the world.” We don’t have the ability to solve our own problems, but Daddy God can, will and already has!

It is important to acknowledge the pit you may be facing, but always remember there is a bigger promise that will get you out and over.

I have even more great news! God makes choices too, and forgiveness is his favorite one! He forgives so quickly and so often that the Word says it’s His habit.

“If you, GOD, kept records on wrongdoings, who would stand a chance? As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that’s why you’re worshiped.” Psalms 130:3-4

Surround yourself today with faith friends- those people that have come through for you, stood with you, forgiven you, cheered for you, supported you, seen the real you , and helped pull you out of your pits. Remember change is possible and it is a choice!

Let me tell you today that you are an influencer and culture changer, and it starts with changing your story. Don’t let shame write your story! Don’t let pit stops paralyze you on your way to the palace. Let me encourage you to read the story of Joseph, and take note of his attitude, how it adjusts in light of God’s promise. (Genesis 37-50 story of Joseph) Remember don’t get comfortable in the pit. Remember you are not alone- Ask Holy Spirit for wisdom to get out. Make a move!
