Dearly beloved the word of wisdom for this weekend says
MAN WHO IS BORN OF A WOMAN IS OF FEW DAYS AND FULL OF TROUBLE.
JOB 14 VS 1.
Brethren the above bible passage gives us an insight into how life tends to treat us.
Whether we believe it or not, everyone of us must go through one life challenges or the other. Nobody is immune to life challenges.
Even as a Christian the Bible did not tell us that as soon as you become a born again child of GOD you will be free from life's problems and challenges.
It was Jesus that said In this world you will have trouble. John 16 Vs 33 (NIV).
Meaning that Christians are not immune to having troubles.
So as Christians, we shouldn't see trouble as a sign that GOD has abandoned us.
The Psalmist also gave us his own findings as touching this matter.
He said many are the afflictions of the righteous. Psalm 34 Vs 19.
It means that afflictions can come to the righteous it is very possible as stated by the Psalmist.
So having known this as a fact, how are we supposed to live our life?
(1) Despite life troubles we should always remember that Jesus has given us his peace.
So when situations of trouble arises, let's call upon the peace of Jesus to swallow up the trouble. John 14 Vs 27.
(2) The Psalmist discovered that GOD is able to deliver those who trust in him.
When life troubles and problems arises, it is a call to trust GOD with all your heart.
It is a call not to lean on your own understanding and it is a call to acknowledge him in all your ways. Psalm 125 Vs 1 & Proverbs 3 Vs 5 & 6.
(3) When troubles and problems come, it is a call to guard your heart with all diligence.
Proverbs 4 Vs 23 NLT bible version says Guard your heart above all, for it determines the course of your life.
Brethren my singular prayer for everyone of us is that every of life's challenges, problems and troubles facing us at this time will not swallow us in Jesus mighty name Amen.
DON'T BE DISMAYED GOD IS WITH YOU AS A MIGHTY TERRIBLE ONE.
