Jesus’ Power Pulls us Through
Following the daily themes of VBS and applying them to our daily life has been really meaningful for me and I pray that it has been meaningful for you as well. The tagline for the theme was “Jesus’ Power Pulls us Through.”
A train track goes up and down hills and mountains, it also twists and turns, and goes through tunnels. This starts to sound a bit like our journey through life. Some days we are doing well and things are feeling like they are going up. And, there are days where things feel like there are crashing down. Life throws various forms of twists and turns. We might even have moments where things feel dark, as if we are going through a tunnel.
The beauty of this, is that the paragraph above is not the end of the story, it is not the full story. Yes, it is a part of our story, but not the complete story. Jesus is with us, Jesus calls us to help one another. Through Jesus, we are given courage and grace to keep trying and Jesus helps us through. Through Jesus, we gain perspective that we are story is not just the twists and turns, that there is more to our story.
Jesus pulls us through, so let us look to the God who loves us unconditionally, as we journey along the track of life.
“Jesus, you have the power to help us through the journey of life, even when it is hard. Help us to remember that and turn our thoughts and worries to you. Amen.”
