WHEN TROUBLE COMES A RUNNING

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. ” Matthew 6:33-34

When trouble comes running, we each handle it differently. Trouble seems too always be in our path. When things seem to be going well is when problems seem to rise up before us. Some of us try to handle our own situations. We feel that we are weak and unsuccessful if we cannot handle our own problems. There is a better way. There is a spiritual strength that helps us through our problems without much effort on our part. That spiritual strength comes in the name of Jesus. He has done all of the hard work for us. He died a cruel death and then rose from the dead to set at the right hand of God the Father. As he knocks at the door it is up to us to invite him into our heart. It is up to us to build our faith and turn our problems over to him. We must be able to trust him and let him work in our lives in ways that best suit our solutions. He knows and we don’t. It is so easy to begin to feel like the world is against us and begin to say things that allow our problems to grow even larger. It makes no difference how large or how small our problems are, Jesus is there for us. We must continue to be persistent and seek him is all situations. We must understand that our Lord is only a prayer away. We must train ourselves up in his word, his strength, his understanding and his wisdom. We must work to build our faith to a point where Jesus is the first one, we think of in times of need. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
