Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, which means God with us (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth (Luke 1:14). And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1 John 5:11).
Are you going through a stressful situation where you have prayed and asked God to deliver you? It may be a bad financial situation, an ongoing health issue, a bad relationship or marriage, a stressful job, or even a church that you feel that you want to leave, but have to wait on God to release you. Your stressful situation could be any of the above, or others not mentioned here. However, you may wonder if God has all the powers why are you still going through it. Notwithstanding, it is perfectly okay to wonder.
The Apostle Paul spoke of being conceited because of a greatness that was revealed to him in a vision. As a result, a thorn was given to him in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass him, to keep him from becoming conceited. He pleaded with the Lord three times for it to leave him. But the Lord said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul stated that, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).
Consequently, you will have to wait on God’s will and timing to answer your prayers. On the other hand, while you are waiting, you may become frustrated and impatient as you are only human. This is the moment when you should stop and refresh yourself, and say, “God give me grace.” He will give you the grace to endure, until he delivers you.
It is sometimes difficult to give thanks in challenging circumstances. However, life is not without its fair share of trouble (John 16:33). Notwithstanding, when you look at the glass half-full instead of half-empty, you are inclined to give thanks in all circumstances.
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, ESV). Therefore, think for a moment, and see what you can still give thanks for in your life, despite any challenges that you may have overcome or may now be experiencing.
The heart is described by National Geographic Science as the body’s most essential organ. It is the body’s engine room responsible for pumping life-sustaining blood throughout the body. Therefore, the scripture advises that, above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it (Proverbs 4:23 NIV).
The heart is sensitive, and that is where the devil will introduce different seeds of evil to take root. These seeds will eventually begin to grow if the heart sustains and nourishes them. The biblical story in Genesis 4 of Cain and Abel depicts an evil seed of jealousy. Both brothers made sacrifices to God; however, God favored Abel’s sacrifice over Cain’s. As a result, Cain became enraged with jealousy. He then murdered his brother, Abel. As a punishment, God condemned Cain to a life of wandering.
The Bible depicts the fruits that will be produced if the heart is guarded with the Words of God, instead of evil. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness (Galatians 5:22 NIV).
Proverbs 26:4 (NLT) puts it this way, “Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.”
The Psalmist defines fools this way, “Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!” (Psalm 14:1 NLT)
Never argue with foolish people. They will drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience. Mark Twain
Jesus told his disciples, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
True peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God.
