Pointing
the finger at someone else is not the way to solve your problem.
Are
you discouraged by a trial you’re going through? It will help to remember that
everyone has to deal with problems. What I am dealing with may not be the same
problem that you are facing, but everyone has challenges. Here are three things
to keep in mind.
1. Most problems are
fixable.
Do what you can do to resolve the problem. Diagnose the situation, be
willing to do whatever is necessary, and take the steps to fix it. If the
situation is completely out of your hands, surrender it into God’s hands and trust
Him for the strength to endure it.
2. Many problems are
imaginary.
We make life harder than it’s supposed to be by magnifying our problems through
our imaginations. The problem isn’t our problem. The real problem is the way
we think. This is why we must control our thoughts, keep the right
perspective and look at the positive side of our circumstances. (see
Philippians 4:4-8, 2 Cor. 10:5).
3. All problems are an
opportunity.
Trials are simply challenges to move us to a higher level of spiritual growth. When
we overcome the problem, we are promoted to a higher position and a better
place.
No
matter what you are going through, trust
the God who is bigger than your problem. He will show you what to do and
will give you the strength to get through it. “If God be for us, who can be
against us?” (Romans 8:31). www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com www.makinglifecount.net
