I was in the library during my lunch hour on the same day that I decided to cut out the scripture cards (please refer to first post for background). I was thinking and praying about a certain thing I was struggling with. I said something like, “Well God, I don’t know how you are going to help me with this one, but I know you can and you will”. Guess what the first scripture card on the top of the stack was that I picked up that night?
Lie: This problem is too big for God
Truth: No problem is too difficult for God
Scripture: Jeremiah 32:17 “O sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!” (NLT)
Wow… coincidence ? I don’t think so ! It is true that no problem is too difficult for God.
How can I become part of the solution as maybe, well, most likely, part of the solution to this particular problem does lie with me. Will I do what I feel, or should I say know, that God is leading me to do either in my way of thinking about the problem, or in action I need to take? Will I cooperate with Him so that I will obtain that which I so long for? Even though it may be very difficult for me, in the sense that it may cost me, I have to die to self, allow myself to become vulnerable. At the same time I must always remember, every step I take, God takes with me right beside me all the way. I know that by His power and enabling, I will have the victory.
I like you believe that there is no problem too big for God...My problem is a lack of patience on my part while handling them...And then again...God may want me to have and live through the problem for a while longer...we certainly grow during tough times...
