(Psalms 66:10, Isaiah 48:10, 1 Peter 1:7)
Dealing with whatever life throws at you. One of the things that you can
count on as you live your life are the unexpected surprises that will come
your way from time to time. We all do our best to try and control what is
happening in our life, but there will always be things happening to us we
simply have no control over. It is at those times in life that our faith
must become real and sustain us no matter what the challenge may be.
Nobody who is reading these words today is immune from the unexpected
surprises of life. Waking up and finding your pet has run away, going out
to play and getting injured, having a doctor tell you that you have a
disease, coming home and finding your spouse has left, getting a call from
the bank that a deposit bounced causing your checking account to be
overdrawn, getting hurt by a close friend, being told your job has been
eliminated, getting a phone call in the middle of the night that one of your
parents has died, finding out your child is on drugs, getting rear-ended by
a careless driver, being told your credit card was declined, and the list
could go on and on of unexpected surprises great and small.
You see my friend, no matter how much control we THINK we have over our
life, that is a myth because you cannot control how other people think or
act.
People make mistakes that can affect your life. People choose to live in
rebellion to God and their rebellion can affect your life. The reason we
can never have total control over our life is because we can never totally
control the people that are part of our life each day. People will always
fail us, people will always let us down, whether it is intentional or not.
That is why our faith is not in a man, but in THE man....Jesus! He is the
only one that will never fail us, never let us down. He has promised to
never leave us nor forsake us. It is during those difficult times in life,
especially when we are faced with the unexpected, that we have to find our
strength and hope in Him. You see, through Jesus, no matter what life may
throw at us we can find the strength and hope each day to battle through
the problems life may bring our way.
THERE IS NO BATTLE YOU ARE
FIGHTING TODAY THAT YOU CAN'T WIN WITH JESUS!!!
The key to victory is to not let the surprises of life distract you, cause
you to lose focus from what God has called you to do with your life. Let me
repeat this because this is a big one. Please, read these words over and
over. THE KEY TO VICTORY IS TO NOT LET THE SURPRISES OF LIFE DISTRACT YOU,
CAUSE YOU TO LOSE FOCUS FROM WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE!
Here is another one for you. Worrying about the things you have no control
over will cause you to not take care of the things you do have control over.
One more time. Worrying about the things you have no control over, will
cause
you to not take care of the things you do have control over.
I love you and care about you so much. On this journey called life we are
always going to face unexpected surprises, things that come out of nowhere
and all of a sudden become major issues in our life. Nobody who lives is
free from the unexpected problems of life. The key is how we respond to
those unexpected problems. We can ether let them weigh us down like an
anchor at the bottom of the sea, or we can exercise our faith in Christ and
be victorious over whatever unexpected problems may come our way.
I will be praying for you today. I know that many of you are dealing with
circumstances in your life that popped up out of nowhere. I am praying that
you will take your burden to the Lord and allow Him to help you find peace
and joy today despite your circumstances. That peace and joy comes from
knowing God is in control and that there is victory in Jesus. Don't let the
distractions of life keep you from being faithful in doing what God has
called you to do with your life. Give those things out of your control to
the Lord, and focus on those things that are in your control. That is how
you deal with whatever life throws at you.
