The bills, the high cost of living, the struggle to live amicably with other people whom you’d rather dispose of quietly and without a trace. The constant struggle to keep your head above the water.
Every man and woman on earth knows it. Spiderman knows about it. Sure does.
Even Saint Paul knows about it. He knows how life can be very cumbersome. It drives you nuts, really.
He even admits to having very “unsaintly” misgivings… sometimes. He confesses that, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do… For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good i want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do – this I keep doing.” (Romans 7:15, 18-19)
Well then, that being the case, I give up on keeping up a “happy, victorious Christian life” appearances for everyone, because life sucks most of the time. And when you’re face down on the ground eating dusts, it’s hard – very hard – to say, “Praise the Lord “
But at least, I have one thing to hold on to – that no matter how much life may suck, it won’t always be that way. I have HOPE, because God said in His word that “…He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” (Philippians 1:6)
Today, life sucks. So I let it suck as much as it wants. I hang on to hope that by night fall, when I go to sleep, I will sleep peacefully because tomorrow, life will not be as bad as today, which by tomorrow will be nothing more than a bad memory.
And so, life goes on. Fight-Oh!!!!
