Phrase of the day: Can’t nobody hold me down
Sunshine’s Reflections
It’s Friday! Praise the Lord for carrying you safely to the end of another work week. This week may not have been all that you hoped for, but you are alive and well and that is enough to PRAISE the LORD!
Today’s Phrase: Can’t nobody hold me down
Psalm 118:6 (New International Version)
6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
We live in a “crab in a barrel” society. The days where people would help you to get ahead are few. People are drenched with jealousy and disdain for one another. A person cannot strive to do well without a mean old nasty “crab” waiting to pull them back into the barrel.
But I want to encourage someone today when people try to pull you down tell them “Can’t nobody hold me down!” I’m feeling this phrase today, there are people who are trying to challenge your walk, your talk, your dream, your intelligence, your sanity, and your destiny there are people who are even trying to question your credibility, but tell them “Can’t nobody hold me down.”
Yes, I said “Can’t nobody hold me down.” I know all of the English majors are squirming in their seats because I started this sentence off with a contraction, but when people try to rise up against what God has for you, you have to say how you feel. CAN’T NOBODY HOLD ME DOWN. God is on my side and your side.
What can man possible do to you? Let’s see, they can lie on you, talk about you, mistreat you, plot against you, misuse you, abuse you, hurt your feelings, make your cry, but they CANNOT HOLD YOU DOWN! God is on your side. God has a way of revealing the truth so that their lies will be dispelled, He can turn their negative words about you into admiration, He will cause them to treat you better than they treat themselves, instead of plotting against you they will begin helping you and GOD WILL GET THE GLORY.
Can’t nobody hold you down! When folks try to discourage you say to yourself CAN’T NOBODY HOLD ME DOWN!
Have a blessed day. I pray that Sunshine’s Reflections Blog is a blessing to you. I enjoy every day God sends me a word to share with all of you. Thank you for your continued support.
God bless.
