If you are anything like me, then every so often you take inventory of your life. You look at where you are, where you intended to be at certain point and time. For me things never go as planned. I am always ahead in some areas, and missed in others. When I was a baby Christian, I would be disappointed and fall into a short period of depression in the days following my inventory and I would spend the next few months working hard to make my dreams a reality. The more I failed, the more desperate I would get and the more depressed I would become. I did not realize at the time that my life belongs to God and it is His will that must take precedence over my life. God had opened up my heart and helped me realized that all of my unrealized dreams were not failure at all. God was with me the entire time and He guided me into path that aligned with His sovereign purpose for my life. My dear friend, if you have turned your life over to God, trusts Him to lead you as He sees fit.
There cannot be two drivers in a car. Most husbands will tell you that there is nothing more aggravating then a wife trying to lead while occupying the passenger seat. In our adversities, we often try to take the lead. In our trials and tribulations, we tend to forget that we belong to God and that he wants what best for us. He knows what is best for us. Job understood that, and he totally trusted God and at the end, he was rewarded awesomely. He experienced the Glory of God. Friend, like Job, you must know that your redeemer lives. He will never forsake you. You will never lose favor with God. While it is good to have a plan for the future, the believers must understand that it is God’s plan that must be done in his/her life. Friend, you cannot get depressed when things don’t work out according to your plan. Don’t let the devil trick you into thinking that God does not care about you. I do realize that depression is real. I know that despair is real, but I also know that my redeemer lives. I know that my heavenly Father will never let me down. Even before the trial was over Job took control of his depression. “He knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.” Job 23:10
If you feel that you fell out of favor with God, find someone who will pray with you and encourage you. In the midst of those deep moments of despair, God will never turn his back on you and don’t you turn your back on him. When you approach God by faith through his son Jesus Christ, he will turn your life around and like job you will experience His glory. Friend, emotionally, financial and physically ruin are not bigger than God. Listen, you are serving the Almighty, the Omniscient, and the Omnipotent God. There is nothing impossible to Him. He has the power to bring life into the dead circumstances. He has the power to change your failures into triumph. Seek God for His will and direction. Rely on him completely and He will direct your path. His plan for your life includes emotional, financial and physical healing, but more importantly His plan is to live in you. His plan is for you to know Him and to let Him dwell in you.
God wants you to place your trust in Him. You must fight any thoughts that don’t align with the word of God. Train your thoughts to align with God’s word. You were design for victory. You were design for greatness and you must know that no weapons formed against you shall prosper. You are a victor not a victim and that you are above the limitations of this world. Diabetes, Heart Diseases, High Blood Pressure, AIDS, Cancer and Depression cannot win. There are not above God. You don’t even have to go after the victory. It was already given to you over 2000 years ago on the cross. Jesus already won. You have the victory in Him. God plan is for you to be well mind, body and soul and He is greater than your circumstances. Regardless of what you are going through today remain confident that God will deliver you. He most certainly has the power to do so. He has done it for many others. Remember my friend that God is bigger than the giants you are facing.
Praise the Lord
