HOLDING UNTO THE PROMISES.....
Count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptation....
I have to constantly remind myself it will be alright, even tho I can't wrap my head around it, even tho it's gone far beyond my control and abilities, even tho it's not making sense right now, even tho it seems my world is falling apart and I can't help it, I had to summon up my courage to remind myself that it will be alright cause God has already promise me that all things will work together for my good.
When I first get hold of the scripture it rang a bell in my head, if it says all things will work together for my good that means some times it might not be good, things might go south, out of control out of plans ... but knowing fully well that at the end it will sum up to my good and favour will give me the heart and courage to keep pushing till I get out ...
You see most times as believers, know this that our faith will be tried and tested, sometime a lot of things will not add up but however the moment we keep trusting and depending amd holding unto God, he sees our heart that we are not just Christians when things are okay and then fall off when they are not, that we're ready to stick around season in and season out, he will he will definitely show up.
it's not Always the same
Its common for we humans to fall off once in a while and feel less of what we profess as our conviction and our believe shaken, like I am now, a lot is going through my head right now, I'm in a very complex cross road, it all seem my world is falling apart with no one to help me, its making to doubt God's promises for my life, but then again I look back into the word and my faith is built up I know for a surety that God will not let me down, he will not fail me, he will always come through for me.
He said if only I can believe, trust amd hope on him he is more than able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all I could ever think or imagine according to his riches in Glory, and so my believe in him is renewed daily when I ponder on his word for me.....
I discovered more also that the whole Bible is filled with God's unwavering show of love, compassion,, a heart of a father towards us,, the Bible is filled with his unchanging promises that he will not leave us nor for sake us, even tho we go through the fire, through the water, no matter whatever life's unfavorable situation we find ourselves in, that he will always show up for us .... he is just and faithful to hasten and to do of his goodwill for us.
God really wants us to Trust him, he really wants us to rely on him, John 14:14 says that if only we believe we will have what we ask for in prayers, all the miracles Jesus did in the Bible he always do that based on the faith of the people, you will always here Jesus say your faith as made you whole....
In simple terms faith is having that total trust in God that he will surely do what he says and without a doubt in your heart believe what you have said... this is what God wants from Us and he will have a free access to our heart cause its ready for him to be able to do.
