Are You at Your Wits' End? Broken and Derelict in All Your Ways? Beyond Hope and Recovery? Think Again!

Remember your first home? It had to be portable because you moved around a lot and occasionally received unwelcome visitors.

Your second home was beautiful when you finished building it so what happened in the last twenty years for it to wind up in this state. Is repair an option or should we just discard and burn it?

How did it get this way? Did you neglect something or someone? It's falling down, trash has collected all around it, even the temporary patches have big holes in them.

Ah you didn't take care of it, made no real repairs and just added a band-aid in attempts to stop the leaks.

You probably spent more time chasing dreams than you did building a good foundation under your second home. You also got distracted to greener pastures when minor repairs were needed so they just didn't get done. 

I would say you lost sight of your first and second love but you haven't quite gone down for the third time as they say for those who are drowning.

These two homes remind me of many people I have known over the years; I see myself in these pictures as well, in fact we have probably all been there at some point in our lives.

Have you done anything to change it? Have you given up and reached the point of going under for the third time? 

Many homes and many lives look like the second home pictured above, some fall down and are burned while others get transformed. Those that rely only on their own abilities need to stop for a moment and realize that those human abilities got you to the point of falling down and being burned.

So how have some been transformed?  

Psalm 107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29 He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.

The transformation comes through the Lord when they have repented of their sin and cried out to Him. 

In an instant He can transform home number two into home number three below. 

Find that peace and safety, cry out to Him now and be transformed! He loves you and desires that none should perish but that all would be saved.

Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Call on Him right now. Accept His invitation while there is still time.
