God will provide a way!
1 Corinthians 10: 13 “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
There are times I wonder if we steadfastly hold on to the promises of God. It is really a challenge to put in all our heart in trusting and believing in His word, especially in times where the road ahead seems bleak and treacherous. Not knowing what is ahead, not knowing what how to react to the overwhelming tasks and uphill battles, doubt and faithlessness often set in as we start worrying.
Things get worse as we attempt to resolve problems based on our own knowledge, not letting Him in on our thought processes. How often do we forget the fact our Lord God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscience in each and every situation, good and bad, happy or sad?
No matter how how deep we have fallen, how wide (we think) the magnitude of our problems are, it is essential for us to realize that He is still control. It is my prayer that despite any circumstances, we will learn to submit and allow ourselves to be moulded by the Holy Spirit that lives in us. For if He is grieved, it is inevitable that we may miss His soft promptings through His word and through fellow brothers and sisters around us.
Our faithful Lord understands the temptations that are common to man for He experienced life on earth. He overcame life perfectly, sinlessly in this sin-filled world, and overcame death with the glorious victory on the calvary cross as He died and rose again.
Let us put our trust in His word, that He will not leave us in a situation where we can’t handle. The solution begins with the willingness to close our eyes, and the humility to bow down to ask for forgiveness of our sins before seeking His wisdom and strength to help us in our weaknesses. As the peace of God that passes all understanding penetrates our hardened hearts, we can then make a resolution and confidently stand up to our challenges for His namesake in the way He has provided and prompted us to do, in a manner He desires.
While God may not show us His way and provide us with solutions the instance we seek Him, let us be patient and allow Him to work according to His perfect timing. May we persevere in keeping our eyes on Him instead of our problems. With His word on our hands, and the promises etched in our hearts, God will provide a way!
