I've
been a counselor for approximately 30 years-I've seen and heard a lot of heartache; I
lived through much myself. I'm certain of this...my Redeemer lives and His Word works all the time and it doesn't return void-ever! As
Christians we must be purposed in believing God no matter what we see
with our eyes and no matter what others say about the situation we're
in; if not, we will be eaten alive. No one is exempt from trials-the unfair, hurtful and horrific situations where the pain sears so
deep, we don't think we'll make it; & if it weren't for Jesus...we
wouldn't. You've got to decide that you will stand on the Word or
die-either way you come out a winner. Standing on the Word guarantees
you will overcome, but if you die doing that...then you're with Jesus.
We're privileged-God's promised us victory. We get off track when we
try to determine what the victory looks like. God's says He has good
plans, okay, that's what I accept-I don't have to know what that looks
like, to believe that's what God will do. Keep your eyes on Jesus, not
the circumstances you're going through. God's verdict is final-not
man's; there's no judge in the land that can overrule our God...stand on
that and don't waiver from His truth. God's truth precedes any
worldly fact or law. If you feel anxiety beginning to creep up-knock it
down with God's Word. The key to maintaining your sanity during crisis
periods in life is...have faith constantly (Mk 11:22). Your outlook is
based on your faith in God. If you doubt Him, your faith decreases and
anxiety will plague you. If your faith increases in God-your outlook is
expectant and confident; you're certain you will overcome. Having
faith is a full-time job, but it pays good...doubt is a full-time job
also, but it leads to poverty. I didn't plan on posting this tonight-I
actually had another post ready, then the Lord put these words on my
heart. I pray you will stand on His Word and walk out the victory that
has already been won for you. I'm including some specific verses for
different trials, I pray you let them bless you the way God intended.
Blessings to y'all-give all of yourself to the Lord and He will bless all of you! LMM
