What Do We Do?
In the world we live in, we are going to have all kinds of problems, frustrations and difficulties. That's just life. So knowing this, what do we do?
We must remain steadfast and persevere. In other words, the answer is never give up! No matter what's going on in our lives, the victory is in refusing to quit.
Keep in mind that in the heat of our struggles, the Holy Spirit is probably doing His greatest work within us. He is not moved by the circumstances. If you and I really trust Him, we shouldn't be either! He's not in our lives for good times only, but for the difficult times as well.
He will lead us through anything if we'll just hang in there and follow Him. This means being diligent in prayer, relentless in our resolve, unwavering in faith, and determined to stand firmly on God's Word and His promises to us.
So many times we can be sidetracked by how slowly things seem to be going. In fact, the enemy loves to point that out! But remember, that's when God may be doing some of His greatest work. You see, it's not all about you and me. The Lord's work in us is preparation for the work He wants to do through us!
I know life can be hard sometimes. But I also know that God will help us if we remain steadfast. Let's stand on Galatians 6:9: "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up" (NLT).
So let me ask that question again: What do we do? My answer is, never give up! What's your answer?
Prayer Starter: God, I believe that You are at work in my life, even during difficult times. I choose today to remain steadfast and to never give up in obedience to You.
I am so sorry to hear this. I have just got out of a great marriage that I had taken for granted because I didn't live my life through Christ. I lived of the world and it's ways. I made bad decisions as a husband and a father because of this. I'm not making excuses, but this is what happens when you dont live by God. We become selfish, hard hearted, ignorant, walking blindly in this cruel world. The devil comes in like a light and then steals until he has ripped us from everything we had. I just recently gave my life back to God since this has happened. He has changed my life and myself completely. I know this is what God has called me to do. Even though we are divorced, i accept what has happened in my life because i am the reason why we are not together. I will pray for you and I hope your situation gets better. Pray to God and humble yourself to him. Speak up in your marriage. You have every right. Marriage is the most important decision people can make in their lives and shouldn't be taken lightly, the way I did. I have prayed for forgiveness and received it. Focus on God and what he wants you to do. Seek him in all you do. I want to help others the way Jesus has in my life. Set him down. Look him straight in the eyes and let him know that it's now or never. Stand firm in what you believe no matter how hard it is. We make tough decisions in life all the time. Have faith in God. From this point on in my life, i will allow God to guide me in all I do. What would Jesus do in this situation?? What would you do?? God bless you. AMEN!!
