So often our primary ambition is to escape pain or fell good or be delivered from a problem when instead we need to keep our focus on the big picture of what God is doing in our lives and the lives of others through pain or problems. Our primary aim should be to glorify God.
Man's adversity is God's opportunity.
Sometimes, God allows for our situations to get worse instead of better so that when deliverance does come there will be no doubt who deserves all the credit and all the praise.
Where is your focus? If you are suffering, is your focus on the pain? Or on the problems the pain produces? Or on the people who don't seem to understand or help as you think they should? As long as our focus is anywhere other than Jesus alone, you're going to feel defeated in helplessness and hopelessness.
God has a plan for our lives and each thing that happens plays a part in bringing that plan to fruition.
Have you finally concluded that your situation is impossible and that if He doesn't help you, there will be no help? Have you finally reached the place where you have no one and no help, except Jesus? Then you may be close to experiencing the purpose for His delay, which may be to develop your faith in Him, and Him alone.
How many times in your life have you resisted the Lord's guidance? For me, it has been way too many! But, I have found when I remember to be yoked with the Lord and set my life on His cruise control, everything falls perfectly into place....For God's pace is steady and His road is straight.
In Him,
Dalinda
