God Has A Solution

I don't know about you, but most days I struggle with life's situations or circumstances.  I definitely don't handle them as well as I should, and I usually don't understand them.  This is when it is so important for us to trust God. ("Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5)

So many times I wonder why this is happening or what is going on in my life.  The problem here is that I'm human; I don't think like God.  His ways are higher than mine.  He can see beyond this day, beyond this moment.  He sees the big picture.  We have to trust that God knows what He's doing.  He is doing what's best
for us.  We may not see it right now, but one day we will.  We'll look back at a moment in our life and realize that God was at work the whole time.

Just try to remember a time that you didn't understand what was happening in your life, and now look at that situation and how God worked it out.  "Go to sleep...God already has a solution."

"Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.'"
John 13:7

Keep Going

Do you ever have those days when you feel so defeated?  I know I do.  Actually today was one of them.  I was trying so hard to try and find something to write about.  I was searching for what God was going to put on my heart to write.  There were so many distractions; I just couldn't seem to concentrate.  So yes, I was feeling defeated, but then I saw it...a little sign.  It said "Get back up" - God

Isn't it amazing how He steps in at just the right moment to help us with our troubles.  So often I let life defeat me because I'm too busy worrying, or too busy trying to do things on my own...when all I have to do is stop and pray.  Just tell Jesus what's troubling you.  Just talk to Him.  He already knows, He just wants to hear it from you.

Every prayer, every whisper, every tear...He hears them all.  Don't you know the Lord is cheering you on?  He wants you to be victorious!  So keep on trying, keep on trusting, and keep on believing!  Don't give up!  You can do this with God!

"...When my heart is overwhelmed;  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
Psalm 61:2

God Is Already There

"Faith tells me that no matter what lies ahead of me, God is already there."

I ran across this quote this morning, and while I know it to be true, it's still hard sometimes not to be afraid.  After all, we are only human.

Maybe you're facing a really scary situation right now...an illness, money problems, family problems...the list goes on and on.  When we're going through these situations, we often feel scared, alone, depressed, anxious; this is the time we need God the most.  The good news is that no matter what is going on in our lives, we can take comfort in knowing that wherever we go, God is there with us.  "...For the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9 NIV

Friends, family, and even those who are closest to us may not really understand what we're going through, but God does, and He cares.  Trust Him...His arms are wide open, and He's just waiting to hold you and take care of you.

"What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."
Psalm 56:3
