We are created, called and chosen by God, anointed and appointed by God, commissioned by God. Many a times when things don’t work the way we want, the situation begins to question our faith.
My wife and I are in the same condition. I begin to ask God what is happening and why He is not answering. I understood God like a hero in a movie and we as a body the heroine, every time a girl is in trouble the hero gives an entry at the right time. God has a perfect timing of doing things but till he gives an entry we feel discouraged, lost, despised, rejected and we doubt God and His matchless love. But that is not the end of the story, when our Hero Jesus makes an entry everything becomes normal, in fact everything becomes smooth and we enjoy His love, His never ending mercies, His gracious hand and His mighty power.
When are we tempted the most?
1. When you are full of the Spirit:
Matt 4: Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days and nights and the first one to meet Him was the enemy, the tempter.
Job 1: Everyday he offered sacrifices to God for himself and his children, but the enemy tempted him.
2. When you are away from God:
When you are away from God, the enemy has a legal right on you. The only reason you will be away from God is because of SIN and wherever there is sin, Satan is the boss.
So, what to do? The bible commands us to be warm or cold not Luke warm. Whatever your situation or your problem may be the first thing you have to do as a child of God is run into the presence of God (to Jesus) and only at His feet you will find rest and His presence will be a blessing.
Sometimes your trials and test are the only things that will lead you to God. What to do in your trails? The word of God says; count it all for joy when you face trails of many kinds. . . Jam1:2. Thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 15: 57:
The only motive of the devil/enemy tempting us is to separate us from God and God from us, because he knows God loves us and nothing can separate us from God except sin because God hates sin. And if sin comes it separates us from God and when God is not with us the enemy would be the boss over our lives. When we run to Him with thanksgiving despite all the trouble the devil goes mad!
The trails you are facing today will be gone tomorrow but what you do in your trail will be your testimony which is indeed a wonderful experience.
I have decided to run to Jesus in thanksgiving and with the heart of worship believing He has great and better plans for me. How about you?
God bless you,
