Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.
Trouble - Trouble - Trouble
I can't say, I've ever met anyone who hasn't had it.
Lord, knows, I have had my share of Troubles, Whew!
Nothing, will put you on your knees like, Trouble. I have learned and witnessed that even people who do not know God, will pray when trouble comes.
If they say, nothing but, "God help me!"
This passage of scripture, tells me:
- Don't lose heart ( Be anxious for nothing Phil 4:6-9) the pain of it is temporary and, it is moving over for much better and and much more.
- Our natural circumstances are no match for nor bigger than my God Hebrews 13:5,6; Isaiah 40:29
- Regardless, of what it looks like on the outside, our strength is being renewed by God; These things we actually, face are not as big as they appear, do not focus so much on what is going on in the natural.
What makes you go into a car dealership, store, to your mechanic or to anyone to whom you need to make a major purchase and, believe you can get it for less than their asking price?
Reason #1...Because of Faith, you believe at that very moment that you can and, they will. You have no evidence of this. All feelings aside, you step out into that which you cannot see.
This is the same determination needed to believe God:
- Through your Storm;
- For your Healing;
- Out of your Lack;
- And, for you Miracle
Reason #2...Because, we have God's DNA in us (having been created in his image) We can believe and, it come to fruition. Right about now, the enemy is probably whispering "That is different."
NO! It is not! Remember, The devil is a Liar!
All you need is a Mustard seed of Faith, You used more than believing, that you could get them to drop the asking, price.
Don't Touch your Troubles if you haven't Prayed,
We learn a great deal in this life...
We learn how to survive;
We learn who we can trust and who we can't;
We learn from Trouble...
How Strong & Resilient we really are;
We learn to put out Trust in God;
We learn to go to Him in Prayer
I Thank, the Holy Spirit for being a Teacher and for this topic because, it exposes the enemy,
You learn... You can't Trust the devil.
What you shouldn't Touch, is your Trouble yourself. Let God, Do what you, Can't. You do not have to Negotiate with the devil, When GOD will Fix It, for a Mustard seed of Faith.
The devil brought the Trouble to begin with (YOU resist him!)
God is that Greater Figure of Hope.
Read Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:17-24; Hebrews 4:15
