Those inward battles. [Deuteronomy 33v27 ]

Let us not be fooled by appearances,the wealthy and famous may be seen to be free from all troubles ,as they appear on the cover of O K, mag,appear to have everything, but behind the glitter, they have their problems,Bing Crosby had a son who suffered from mental illness,Kenneth Williams who made us all laugh ,was a very unhappy soul. What I am saying applies to all humanity, everyday people have their secret battles to contend with, insecurities to cope with. Being a Christian does not mean we are free from the inward battles, some give the impression that they are, but they are not, but for us who are Christians, we can know the peace of God, we can experience a strength that is not our own, through Jesus.In the words of an old hymn ,/God has not promised skies always blue, / but He has promised to be with us in all our inward battles, and to uphold us with His everlasting arms [Deuteronomy 33v27] [Dear God you alone know us fully, nothing is hid from You,and You know how much we struggle inwardly, so today, grant us grace, and peace, and that inward strength we need, in Jesus name Amen ]
