God in the matter not cling today to a negative situation that
may sneak stealing vitality, energy, creativity and enthusiasm to live. As the
saying goes: Learn to Release and let God take care of it.
Confident
that the Lord will guide you to wise counsel and new opportunities has in store
for you.
Habakkuk 3: 17-19
"Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor
fruit be on the vines; although the lack of the olive,
and
the fields yield no food; although missing sheep pen and no cattle in the
stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my
salvation. 19 The Lord GOD [t] is my strength;
The first thing to do is stop
and think, without emotionally reacting to the problem. Do not let panic
take hold of you or some terrible fear come over you. Stop and think. According
to what must you think?
Second, remember the basic things you
know about God and not try to solve the problem immediately. Get away from
the problem and begin to approach God. Return to what you know about him and
his character, as he has been revealed to you in the revelation and through the
experience that you have acquired.
That is the third step then put what you know about the character of God and apply it to the problem
.. And finally, if you have not found an answer, leave the rest in faith for
God to solve it and ask him to show . That's the way to do it.
Habakkuk 1:12 Art
thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We will not die.
It is shown
by these words to the prophet that there are
only two possible perspectives on life. We can only deal with life by two
different kinds of attitudes. Either the face
by faith, depending on God, or faced with an attitude of disbelief,
depending on our own ability to reason everything. These are the two
fundamental attitudes and are the only two possible attitudes.
Notice how
he begins chapter 2:
Habakkuk 2: 1 I
will be on my watch, and the strength I'll;
I
watch to see what He tells me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved [a].
This is the
difference between the man of faith and a man who lives according to his
reason. One of the saddest things that I find is the number of Christians who
are being trapped by the idea of living in accordance with reason and
intelligence of human rational processes,
"God instruct the matter, does not mean
being passive, or accommodated in comfort zone; means: trust the promises and
make the fight never faint ,, Jesus will do the rest "
Have you
found that? That despite the problems remain and the pressure continues to be
there, you can produce a strengthening of the
inner man that makes the heart rejoice and feel cheerful in the face of
difficulties and that's what Habakkuk discovered. "The Lord
says," is my strength. And that's the truth of the New Testament. That's a
desperate way of trying to get rid of the problem, but God has ordained that
the problems continue. "In the world ye shall
have tribulation Jesus said," but take courage, I have overcome the world!
(John 16:33)
Romans 8:28 And
we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, that is,
to those who are called according to his purpose.
