When you become desperate...you lose perspective. Losing perspective leads to impulsive decisions & often choices you regret. If you try to take on impossible burdens in life...you will become desperate. Desperation leads to the door of hopelessness every time. Jesus tells us He's taken all the troubles & in Him we can have peace-He's overcome the world. When facing burdens you must immediately defer to God's Word for hope. God's hope anchors your soul-giving you a peace that transcends all understanding. Be prepared for your mind to go into a natural processing mode-wanting to know how you will handle the burdens you're facing. Remember, God gave us our mind & we're to use it, but it must be calibrated to the Word. Immediately defer your thoughts to God's truth in situations where you see no way out-this process will seem irrational in your mind & that's because it is. Your mind can't comprehend how God will make the impossible you're facing work out...humanly speaking it's impossible, but with God, everything's possible. God's got your best interest in mind even when your life is crumbling around you!
Throughout scripture, the people who believed God when faced with impossibles were the same ones who witnessed God's miraculous provisions. Don't you know Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego were ready to meet the Lord when they were thrown into the fiery furnace. Still, they stood firm & believed God despite the impossible they faced-they didn't know how He would provide but chose to stand on His promise of provision. Making a decision to believe God is the first step to freedom when facing a burden. Next is releasing the burden into the hands of Jesus because He is our burden bearer. This enables you to be confident even though you have no idea how things are going to work out! The burden remains, but Jesus is managing it instead of you.
You move ahead in what you know to do-which will seem crazy in the natural. This may lead you right into the fiery furnace-if so, know Jesus is with you & He will never leave you. Most burdens require us to walk into the fire to stand on what we say we believe-this is how we build our faith. Nobody wants to walk in the fire, but every fire brings you closer to the sweet love of Jesus! We know what we believe & no devil in hell can ever snatch it from us! Nothing can ever separate us from His love-He has good plans for us...our hope is in Him all day long! Jesus is our burden bearer…will you let Him bear yours? (Jn 16:33, Heb 6:19, Phil 4:7, Dan 3:17, Phil 4:13, Mt 19:26, Jer 29:11, Ps 25:5, 55:22) 6/21/13LMM #desperationleadstoimpulsivechoices #christianinsightforlife
