My grace is sufficient for you, for
my power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
“if I can just get through this
problem, I’m sure that everything will be okay.” Ever think that? You grit your
teeth and you get through that problem only to find that several more have
cropped up on the horizon. It’s like pedaling a bicycle. Going uphill is so
slow and takes so much energy and then the downhill run so quickly turns into
another uphill climb.
The word translated “worry” or
“anxiety” in the New Testament is interesting. Paul used it when he described
his care for the churches, a legitimate area of concern, but he also used the
word when he talked about not being overwhelmed by the immediate problem – but
rather to pray and commit it to the Lord (Philippians 4:6).
Do you ever find yourself in the
position where your head and your heart don’t tell you the same things? Your
head says, “That problem is a pretty big one which confronts you!” and your
heart says, “God is bigger than this problem, and I can trust Him.” You are
drawn or pulled two different ways. The end result – worry.
“Ín the world you will have trouble,”
said Jesus. But He didn’t stop there, for if He had, the future would be pretty
bleak. He continued saying, “But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John
16:33). Concentrate on finding His strength and power and learn from the experience
you are working through right now.
In his book “Why Us?”, Warren Wiersbe
tells of a blind girl struggling with some tough issues who turned to him and
said, “Pray that I won’t waste all of this suffering!” She saw God’s purpose in
the upward climb. So can you, friend, no matter where you are on the incline of
life.
God Bless Us..
