LIFE BEGINS WITH A DOCTOR’S SLAP

LIFE BEGINS WITH A DOCTOR’S SLAP

Man was born into trouble; from the moment you leave your mother’s womb, you encounter trouble. Life begins with a doctor’s slap on our backside.
Even as a Christian, life is not a bed of roses. It is one of challenges, tests and trials to strengthen your desire for Christ, to preserve you for redemption and to prepare you for the challenges ahead.

Are you facing crisis, injustice, challenges that seem beyond your control?
You want to be loved and liked but people seem indifferent to you. You want to be successful but you fail repeatedly. You want to be courageous but feel overcome by fear.

Do not worry. Jesus Christ, who created you, died for you, rose again for you and reigns in power for you, has overcome fear for you. This should give you the confidence to say, even in the face of threats to life, as the Psalmist did in Psalm 22: 9-10, “But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts. I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s womb You have been My God”.
