How to re-act in the Times of Trouble.
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Job is a good example of how we should re-act in the days of trouble, the book of Job1:6- 22 recorded that Job first worship God in the midst of his trouble and continue thanking God by
saying that LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away, Job realize that God's plan for him is for good, that his ways are higher than our ways, God probably let something happen to you for a reason you might not figure out, the divine Wisdom displayed in the life of job to understand that God is trying to do something beyond his thought or feelings.
You reaction in time of trouble can increase your faith or quench the vibrant Spirit of God in you, if you don't let Satan steal your joy because of life problem and tribulation then you become all time winner, in Verses 22 the Bible said Job did not sin or blame God in the midst of this Calamity that befalls him.
Sometimes problems comes when God is about to do something marvelous in your life, you may miss the opportunity to grab the blessings of God closer to you because of your re-
action in times of problem, your ability to stand firm in the Lord in the days of tribulations will automatically translate your problem to testimony, it happen to Joseph, he was very confident in God while in prison and God translated his problem to testimony by making him a prime minister in Egypt.
The first thing that happens to you when problem comes is fear of what happens next, when business problem comes you fear of how much money you are about to loose, when health problem comes you have a fear of how you might die ,but the bible says fear is not of the lord, 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind, understand that fear is one the tactics Satan uses to subdue you, when problem comes you can simply praise God and pray like Job, the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away, and he will give you again like a did to Job.
If you can realize that he is the God of all flesh and there is nothing too difficult for him to do then you can overcome fear and timidity. For more of this contact me at [email protected]
