I can do all things through Christ.
The way the Tower fell was so scary Look, it didn’t just break off, it crashed down as if it was a domino effect, floor by floor. There were people in that building. Take a moment out of your day and reblog this for the people who saved lives that day and for the poor souls who didn’t make it.
““God strives with His captive children until they are free. The worst possible result of our disobedience would be God giving up on us. In Psalm 107 God’s own children rebelled. Over and over He disciplined them; but He never forsook them, hallelujah!””
— Beth Moore
The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8
What does life at its best look like to you? Is it living in a posh house and driving a fancy car? It's more than that. Jesus has an amazing plan for your life.
The Lord never modifies His plans to suit our purposes; instead He has always required that we align to His. The reason He directs us and all other believers in the way we are to go is because He is God—perfect in all wisdom and knowledge. He knows what is best for us.
Since our Father desires to be involved in every aspect of our life, He gives clear direction so that we can understand what His will is for our lives. By walking in the center of God’s will, we accomplish that which we were created to do.
What are we required to do? Seek His way and live according to His word. Far too many miss out on His best- either they don't trust Him completely or they just walk away from His plan. Only in His plan there is true peace, genuine fulfilment and satisfaction.
Often Christians who have withstood severe trials and temptations falter when confronted with a minor difficulty. Elijah found himself in such a position, he had overcome 450 prophets of Baal and God had displayed His great power and might to His people through Elijah. But when Jezebel, the wicked queen threatened to kill him, not only did he flee, but he also began to wallow in self-pity. He said, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life." (1 Kings 19:10)
We often face challenging situations. But we're never alone. The Lord promises to never leave us nor forsake us.He will help us overcome every hurdle and every mountain that stands in our way. Jesus will go before us and make every crooked path straight.
Don't wallow in self pity. Whatever your circumstances, God is with you. The two of you together are sufficient for any situation.
