“People do not live by bread alone, rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the lord.” Deuteronomy 8:3
“And we know that He causes everything to work together for the good of those who have God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28
When your world comes tumbling down around you what is the first thing you think of? What is the first action you take when the world around you begins to crumble? Do you become angry? Do you begin to think of things that you can use as revenge? Do you run and hide in fear? As we read God’s word every day and as we build our faith in Him, we find that he provides everything we need to be overcomers. We begin to understand that our world is much more than eating and drinking but is full of spiritual strength that comes with our strong faith and inherent trust in Him. We begin to experience the joys with the heartbreaks and begin to realize that if we trust in our God in heaven, he will use our hardships for his good and that as we trust in him, we will be blessed. He loves us and will never give us more than we can handle. When we confront problems at home or at work we should immediately turn to our Lord for help. He is the force who has the answers. He is the one who sees our needs and the needs of those around us. Our hurts may be needed in order to bless someone else. We must realize that we are fighting a spiritual war and not a physical one that is touted by the world. Yes, there are worldly wars going on around us, but you and I are fighting in a spiritual warfare each day. Because we confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are included in the attacks of the devil and his army. So, when we are attacked, we must go to our general, our Lord and Savior and follow him and not try to win our wars alone. We must remember that he is our first and only source of strength! He loves us and we should love him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
