There is nothing happening to you right now or had happened that God is not aware of or never knew. He knows about the hurts - the heart breaks, the emotional breakdown, the ill-health, the blackmails, the betrayals, the loss of a job, the loss of a loved one, broken relationships, marriages or homes.
God never promised smooth sailing in life but a safe landing. He never said it would be easy but promises to be with us through it all.
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. " Isaiah 43:2
"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6
God promised the Israelites freedom from their slavery in the land of Egypt into a land flowing with milk and honey but the road to that land was not an easy one.
All through the journey, they encountered different kinds of difficulties and challenges - lack of water, food and dealing with the scorching heat in the day.
But God had solutions to every challenge they faced - He provided water, manna as food and a cloud to shield them from the sun - He never left them alone in their troubles.
God knows about every challenge and is working behind the scenes to give you a hope and a better future.
He said in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you."declares the LORD," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Instead of focusing on the problem, focus on God and his promises. This gives you hope, comfort and helps to provide solutions to every problem.
Instead of talking about how big the problem is, talk about how big your God is. Talking about the problem every now and then magnifies the problem even bigger, but talking about and trusting God in every situation makes the problem seem smaller in your eyes.
Do not be like some of the israelites who kept on complaining about their challenges and prefered going back into slavery instead of trusting God.
God makes a way when it seems like there is no way out - this is his specialty. ..."I am making a way in the desert and streams in the waste land." - Isaiah 43:19
He has it all figured out and working on your behalf even when it doesn't feel like it. He has a perfect plan for our lives despite all we are going through.
Keep keeping on, keep doing what you need to do to reach your goals, keep holding on to that single thread of hope and faith.
Every day you push through, brings you closer to your dreams and your victory. You are closer than you think.
Get acquainted with the character of God - a loving, caring and protective God. Refuse to doubt the glorious destiny God has promised irrespective of the problems faced but rather be comforted by the words;
And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
Quote for the day - God has solutions lined up for every problem you will ever face. He knows how to make it all work out."
