Greetings:
When there are mountains in front of us that we can not move them or climb over, know we are not alone.
God is there always, even when we can't hear him, or feel his presence.
When I'm down and out, feeling sorry for myself, when things are not going as I had them planned, I take comfort in the words in James 1:2-4. It reads: “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
The passage tells me that if we want to enjoy our Christian life, we need to keep a godly attitude and a strong steadfast faith in our time of testing.
We must never give up and never give in. There is no turning back. We have to press forward in prayer to boost up our faith.
If our spiritual “God-hole is filled up with faith nuggets and we know God's Word, then when tough times do come along, we will be ready for the attack.
Know for sure that struggles are an attack – not from God, but the devil.
Spending time with God will keep us calm, stable and steadfast.
Always let God be our anchor in that churning sea of circumstances.
Lets get the words of Deuteronomy 31:6 down in our heart – “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."
If we believe those words, then whatever wall we are facing won't seem so tall.
Be blessed.
