TROUBLES OF LIFE

“AND GOD IS FAITHFUL. HE WILL NOT ALLOW THE TEMPATATION TO BE MORE THAN YOU CAN STAND.” 1 COR. 10:13

Every one of us faces temptation and trouble in this life. We have mountains to climb over and deep valleys to climb out of. Sometimes these troubles seem never ending and it seems as though we will never get away from them. However, we are reminded in 1 Corinthians 10:13, that our God in heaven is in total control. He loves each of us beyond understanding. He does not want us to fail and, if we go to him as our refuge, we will not fail. He is greater than anything that we might face. There is no situation that can stand before us that we cannot handle if we just turn it over to the Lord. He is always there to give us encouragement and to pick us up when we stumble. The problem lies in the fact that we sometimes forget about our saving Lord. We get entangled in the worries, doubts and fears of our troubles. We try to use our abilities to overcome. We soon find out that we don’t have the strength without our Lord. We don’t have the guidance we need without his Holy Spirit. We must train ourselves to respond to ugly situations by turning them over to our Lord immediately and following his instructions unconditionally. Our Lord loves us, and we cannot fail with him by our side. We cannot fail with him living in us. He is our rock, truth and power to be overcomers in all things! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
