As human beings we are always looking at the storms we face and thinking to ourselves how in the world can we ever over come this. Well i say to you that when we find peace in God and know that it is taken care of we will live life to the fullest.
God knew we were going to face these problems before we were born so why sweat the small stuff he is in control of it all when we give it to him and let it be... Look at Job and the trials he faced in his time and stood strong keeping peace...
Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy and if he can steal your peace then he basically has u. When we walk in peace we know the problem is there just look at it in a different light.
Money is the root of all evil and if he can distract you by using money to he will, let me share some personal stories with you.
Four years ago we bought our house the one that when I first saw it I knew it was mine and was not even finished. After being here a year the mortgage company said we had not been paying enough so they upped our payment by $500.00 this was a big hit but you know what we made it and never missed a tithe. I had faith that we were going to be alright and kept peace about the situation at hand.With in the last year our finances was attacked again this time our checking account was frozen for a month. Right away I thought how am I gonna provide for my family for the next month but we made it through. At first I wanted to check out and throw in the towel but who wouldn't. My family worried always calling asking me how I was doing but never once helped me out with anything. They were wondering how I was so calm in all this. I had the peace of God I knew I was going to be alright and things were going to work out for the better. Kept tithing also. Less then six months later I can say me and my husband are almost 100% debt free... I give all the glory to Jesus.
Problems will arise but when you find the peace of God and know he has everything taken care of it you will be like OK i got this turn around and give all your problems to God he is there to help us not hurt us.I know that you will think about it often and think god is not taking care of the problems at hand but we must remember it is on God's time not our time..
There might be a time where you have to go with out something, sell something or change your life drastically to get through but while you are pushing through the problem at hand remember on the flip side you will be bigger and better. A set back is like a sling shot for your come back...
Peace be with you in your storm
We're going to have a yard sale & we're going to give up our "fancy blackberries" and go with cheapo phones for a little while until we can get it back on track... thanks for the reminder, sis!
ReplyDeleteLove you!!
There are things we can live without even though we think we can't... Faith as big as a mustard seed is all we need
ReplyDeleteI love what you said at the end about a setback just being a sling shot for your comeback. That so motivates me. This whole post was inspiring to me! You are very good at that.
