Hello Dear Friend,
One of the most horrible thing that we are seeing and hearing nowadays is people getting mad and upset with God. I think this is the scariest place to be in.
When everything goes well the way we wanted it to go we praise and worship God but when small difficulties comes our way we question His existence, His power and His concern for us.
I want you to have this attitude towards God that you will never ever grumble and complain against Him, no matter what you are going through.
5 things helps you to survive tough time;
- God is sovereign:
The God who created us is Almighty, All-knowing and All-powerful. There is nothing hidden to Him or there is nothing He can’t see.
God is not surprised when you get into trouble or when you do a stupid thing, He knows you would get into it.
This leaves us with a question:
If God knows you would end up in this ditch, why didn’t God stop me?
God loves you so much that He first try to convince you that it is wrong and not good for you but you choose it irrespective of God speaking to you about His ways and standards for you, finally He respects your decisions and desires.
If you are in trouble because of your wrong choices, it’s not too late to repent and ask His forgiveness and seek His will and live in His will.
- God is concerned about you:
God is the one who created everything visible and invisible, He is the Lord and King over all His creation. When God created everything He said ‘good’ but when He made man He said ‘very good’.
God finally found a partner and friend in a man, He used to have fellowship with man but when man sinned by disobeying. God didn’t leave man alone He came and covered man’s shame because He was concerned about him.
The Bible says, God is mindful of us. Ps 8:4. God even knows the numbers of hair we have on our head. Matt 10:30.
God who rules and reigns over the heavens and the earth, He is concerned about you so much that He thinks about you day and night and He knows every small detail of your life because He loves you madly and unconditionally.
You might live without Him, but He can’t live without you.
If you know someone is so madly in love with you, would you not take a minute to think about Him and thank Him? I think it’s time to think about your creator and tell Him that YOU LOVE HIM!
- God is Faithful:
You might ask me, what is God doing now?
He is trying His best to turn that sorrow to Joy, your pain to pleasure and your tears to celebration; but He won’t force you, He will wait patiently until you give Him your life into His hands.
All you need is just a touch of a Master who made you, His one touch will fix your life perfect. As you are reading I suggest you to give your life to Jesus, not because of any other reason than knowing that He is your creator and you love Him with everything that you have and coming back to Him the way you are.
Rom 8:28: All things works for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
When you give your life to Jesus and make Him the Lord over every area of your life, no matter how it is, He will WORK and use those failures, hurts, pain and troubles for His glory.
Give your life completely to Jesus, NOW!
- Trust God and Praise Him:
When you give your life to Jesus, you don’t worry. Worry is the sign of not trusting God completely.
For example: A child comes home and tells his parents that his fees is not paid, and he don’t worry whether my parents will pay my school fees or no. He goes out with his friend playing and enjoying. Parents make sure that his school fees is paid!
Don’t you think God is much more faithful than our worldly parents? Our parents give us what they have and we trust and praise them all our life, Imagine God is giving us all He has and we don’t even bother to thank Him and praise Him.
We should trust and praise God because He is worthy to be praise and He alone deserves it!
You can trust Him Praise Him more only when you know who He is and what His ability is! Without knowing Him, you can never trust God and praise Him fully!
I would also like to suggest to take time to know Him, God revealed Himself in the Holy Bible, if you don’t understand it or don’t have time to read it meet a pastor or a man of God who will help you to understand God.
- God restores in a double measure:
The Bible records of the people who trusted God and put their confidence in Him and Praise Him no matter what the situation is;
God blessed them so much that they remained in the history forever!
I want to remind you of a man called Job.
The Bible says, He was the wealthiest man of his time, a righteous and the blameless. One day he lost everything He had lost all his children in a day, lost all the wealth in a day, and hit the road to add to this he had severe boils all over his body. It was so bad that he took broken pottery and began to scratch his body with it, till he was bleeding.
That’s not the end of the story, His love for God was not shaken, and His trust in God never shattered but he praise and worshiped God.
The Bible says, God restored him with everything He lost in a double measure!
What is your situation compared to Job’s?
If he can have so much love, trust and praises for God. Why can’t you?
Instead of complaining of the things that you don’t have thank God for the things that you do have, and love Him and trust Him. He will do exceedingly abundantly above you could ever ask or think.
It’s your time to experience double portion of the blessings you lost! It’s your time to leave a legacy and it’s your time to live above your standards.
I pray that as you are reading this, God will give you grace to know Him, love Him, trust Him and Praise Him in every situation and circumstances.
God Bless you
