So do not fear, for I am with you do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41:10
Don’t look down on this chance to see who you really are. We always ask for God to strengthen our faith, give us wisdom, make us better, show us our purpose, but when the challenge comes our way we break just like that. Not realizing that was our moment to really out the work in. We say we want to know God is a way maker, but we don’t want to struggle. We want to know God will strengthen our faith, yet we don’t want to be put to through the fire. We want to hear from God when He speaks, but we don’t open our Bibles. Psalm 34:17-18 reads, ‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.’ Which clearly tells us that no matter what we go through God draws closer to us, especially during those challenges we face in life.
I know this can be easier said then done, but we must be tried to become better. You want to be a better mom, a better, wife, a better sister, a better witness, friend, you want to stand up for God and have faith that can move mountains. Well none of that can happen a little test and effort. Trust God’s methods; hey they’ve gotten you this far. (Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; – Proverbs 3:5) God know what you need and how to give you what you need. Just trust and obey and keep prayer plus your Bible close.
