Dwell On God's Provision and Care
How well are you handling difficult circumstances? Are you dwelling on the situation at hand? Perhaps this is the very reason that your troubles seem insurmountable and overwhelm you with a sense of failure. Instead, dwell on God's provision and care. He is your Guide (Proverbs 3:6). He is your Healer (Jeremiah 17:14). And He is your Deliverer (2 Corinthians 1:10). Amen?
Where is God in Your Life
God must always remain first place in your life. Certain prayers such as a request for a spouse, a baby, or a loved one's deliverance could divert your attention from God. Although these petitions are all good, they are in second place! God will never share first place with anyone or anything!!!
Trust in God
Are you habitually wavering in your prayers instead of exercising bold faith? Well one of the main hindrances is a lack of trust. If you believe God is who He declares to be and will do what He promised, there is no stopping you from reaching higher heights or deeper depths in God!!!
God is the Only Constant in Your Life
Put your trust in God no matter what! Those who trust Him, He turns every loss, separation and difficulty into something good. God is the only constant in your life! Don't make the mistake of thinking He isn't simply because He does not operate according to your will and schedule.
Are you tired of waiting on God when everything within you are saying, "do something?" The right time is key in a believer's walk with God. You must trust His timing during essential decisions, uncertain direction, or pressing needs. The purpose of the wait is for God's will to be done. He alone knows what is best for you!
Waiting on God requires faith. The answer to the problem you may be facing is in God's hands. God is constantly at work behind the scene arranging and orchestrating experiences to bring into play His plan for your life. In TIME you will see proof of His faithfulness!!!
Can Good Be Against God's Will?
Are you aware there are two sides of good, positive and negative? Did you know that the enemy can use good to turn you away from God? There are some good that is indirect rebellion against God! Remember what happened to King Saul. Although what he did was good for the people of God, but , it was outright rebellion against what God commanded. Be not deceived because of good works or good deeds!!! http://ow.ly/QXWe9
Give God the praise for all the good in your life. For He is the source of all your good. He blesses the believer and the unbeliever,and the Lord has an abundance of goodness and blessings for His children. To God be the glory!
The Importance of Reading God's Word
How often do you feast off of God's Word? I am not referring to messages you hear in church. I am speaking about your personal time in the Word. The Bible states, "When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty" (Jer. 15:16). Read the Word daily to discover the mind of God.
Have you experienced rejection, abandonment, loss, divorce, or separation? Remember you're COMPLETE in CHRIST!!!
Persevere Towards the Promise
You are called to PERSEVERE! "Let us hold unswerving to the HOPE we confess, for HE who PROMISED is FAITHFUL!"
The Right Perspective Towards Turbulence
How do you look at your struggles, trials,, tests, or challenges? Are you in the habit of blaming others for your troubles? Well, unless you are willing to evaluate your struggles, storms, trials, or tests correctly, along with the right attitude, you are unable to grasp, perceive, accept, or recognize your New Season following the turbulence.
Say what you mean, and mean what you say, and do it!!!
Do you feel you do not possess enough faith? Well you're in for a rude awakening! According to Matthew 17:20 it says "...If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. It is my prayer that your faith will not fail! Have faith in GOD!!!
