Are you experiencing any difficulties or challenges in life? Your response may be to look at me and shake your head while asking if that was a real question. After all, we all experience difficulties and challenges daily, don’t we? Even now as we face this ongoing pandemic. As Christians, this worries and overwhelms us, the difficulties, ie? What is our response? Do we get demotivated? Can I share? There was a time I would get demotivated, even depressed, ready to give up while exercising faith. And then the question becomes, how is it possible to have faith and also feel helpless? It is possible when we perform from our limited reserve and feel we have our lives under our control, forgetting that ultimately as Christians, we must seek God in all that we do.
Like I said earlier, I will admit that there were times I encountered difficulties and kept on doing things on my own until I remembered that God is in control of all I do.
I always say thank goodness He is not a man because we would be pretty much hopeless. After all, you know what comes next, right. We turn to Him after the fact, when we remember that He has to give us the go-ahead, and if he were like a man who is limited and sometimes operate from their emotions, then we may very well have to join a line and wait our turn, if we have a turn, ie. Sometimes there is a timeline for action, and waiting in line may very well cause us to miss out. I am just saying.
I am here to reassure you that remembering who is really in control is a good thing, and we should not feel bad that we had momentarily forgotten. That is why we have GRACE that forgives and says it is alright, let us see how we can fix this, and if what we are doing is a God thing, then rest assured we will meet the deadline.
I recently came across a verse found in Psalm 34:6 (MSG) “When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot”. Yes, sometimes life finds us in a tight spot, and we need immediate rescue, we then cry out to our Father, and he rescues us, making a lot of what we struggle with resolve itself in a very short time. There is a promise found in Joel 2:25 when we return to our father, and it says, “I’ll make up for the years of the locust, the great locust devastation—Locusts savage, locusts deadly, fierce locusts, locusts of doom, That great locust invasion I sent your way.
So return to Him, and allow Him to rescue you, to relieve you of any burdens. He is waiting on you, but you must go to Him and rely on Him. He is in control.
Lots Of Love & Amazing Light!
