You Are Not Alone...

VIVA!

May your bookshelves be full and your tea always warm.

I’m ready for more. I’m ready for new experiences. I’m ready for adventure. I’m ready for expansion. I’m ready for growth.

“The pain that you feel is only temporary. The growth that you experience will last forever.”

Sincere worship

When we serve God it must come from the heart, we should serve Him because we love Him and bec. we are grateful to Him for everything He’s done for us. We should not serve God just bec. we want something in return. To most people this is the problem, I will share to you a true story related to this. There is a certain businessman(family friend) who owned a flavoring company w/c is successful, he was thinking of expanding and launched a new product. This new product failed, and he told us that he does not believe in God because if God existed his new venture would not fail. It’s a pity why we often blame God for trials and obstacles we have to face. What’s also sad is that some people will abandon their faith just because God did not give in to their requests. That’s equivalent to a child throwing a tantrum. The reason for this trials are simple: God has a plan better than yours and God wants you to learn something from the current situation you’re in.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

If you think God has abandoned you, then you should look at Job(from the bible.) Job had all kinds of disasters enter his life, yet his faith did not falter. That’s what I call FAITH, our faith in God should be like Job’s SOLID. 

You see, God loves us all He’s not the one for special treatments. Even his anointed are not exempted from temptation and disasters. Job was considered so righteous that even Satan asked God if he could test Job’s faith.

Job 1:10-12

10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”

Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

As you can see not even the righteous ones;those who worship the Lord in truth and in Spirit can escape trials. The enemy wants to destroy our relationship with God through these trials.Trials like these are just God’s way of proving to the enemy that you can do it, God trusts us so lets not disappoint Him.

Food for thought.

Imagine you were about to move into your dream house and then all of a sudden, everything fell through and you were forced to stay in your current house for another year. Rightfully so, you would be frustrated. But in that moment you have two choices: you can either spend the whole year complaining because you can no longer move into your dream house, or you can start to see your current house in a new way. That bedroom that seemed so boring? You can paint the walls. That kitchen that seemed outdated? You can change the knobs on the cabinet and replace the tiles on the floor. The living room that was nothing exciting? You can learn how to make new curtains or a new rug for the floor. You can start to appreciate and make the most of what was already there. ⠀ This is what it means to learn to be content with you have. Being content with what you have is not settling for what you have. It is learning to see what you already have in a way you might have otherwise overlooked. ⠀ Through contentment, God wants to show you the many beautiful and intricate details of what He is already doing in your life that you may have otherwise overlooked, had you only been focused on what you don’t have yet. ⠀ You may not have your dream house, your dream job, or your dream family yet, but by learning to be content with what you have, God wants you to see the beauty in the life He has already laid in front of you. ⠀ I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. - Philippians 4:11 ⠀ Written by @morganhnichols for #TheDevoCo
