We can get so fixated on our problems that we forget God. The one and only God, the creator of the universe, The One who will judge kingdoms and warriors. The one who will save souls. We get so fixated on the negatives in the battles we have daily that we go into war without the leader.
Could you imagine an army of soldiers being told that war is imminent? The battle sounds are all around, instead of waiting for instruction from the General the soldiers get all suited up and go to battle without, armor, without guns and without the leader? You would say naw, that would never happen, but it does it really, really does. We do it all the time. We don’t use the things we have correctly, we limit our time helping somebody or abuse our time by doing something fruitless selfishly. Then get mad that we never have time for such and such.
We also waste time in our troubles, we look for others for help of for the answer. Instead of turning to the God who holds the earth in His hands, the One who has all the answers. We forger to go to him first. We need to remember that God is our source for everything in our life. When we face situations that seem to leave us in a valley of the shadow of death – PRAY-
When we are climbing out of the valley upwards into a rest stop so to speak, a tie of ease from the problems, look upward to The Father – Pray, Read His Word- See fulfilled promises to God’s people (Hebrews 11)
When in what seems to be a stalemate with the enemy and the answers seem to be so far away, remember Jesus. He was like us once in human form, 100% God and 100% man. He knows pain and suffering of mind body and soul that led Him up to the cross on Calvary. He knows how we feel but He didn’t stay in the valley He trusted His father all the way to death and life again.
When we get this, that God is in control of our situation our life our everything, when we first place our trust in Him at salvation; we can:
Pray – with true faith never waving
Read – with action apply it to our lives
Rest – with trust that God will fix ‘it’
Then we will be living in His will for our lives.
We face many trials both physically and mentally. It takes a toil on our soul thus damaging our spiritual battles.We tend to be like a statue in our inner man, forgetting to pray, read the word letting the Holy Spirit lead us out of despair. You will still have the trials but when but when we "be still and know He is God” and let Him do His job, the trials are dealt with easier, because God is in Control. Believe God.
