Hey guys! Here's something I'd like to share with ya'll from the book "But God" by Phil Pringle. Just a small abstract to encourage all of you :]
"When problems get big, God can seem small. When things go bad, we often wonder why God let them happen. Bad things sometimes just happen in life. BUT GOD is able to reverse them and bring good out of bad.When our problems seem impossible, panic can torment us. We can forget that God can do the impossible.Jeremiah 2:32 says, "My people forget me" (MSG).When problems hijack our faith, it's easy to believe they are more powerful than your God.Isaiah 51:13 says, "You've forgotten me, God, who made you..." (MSG).When you come to the end of yourself and have nothing left, you might think, "God has forgotten me and has left me."The sheer weight of a problem can overwhelm our faith. If we focus on the problem, anxiety and fear come, and faith disappears. But if we make the right choices, we make the opposite take place. We collapse our problems with faith. Faith is a feeling. It's a mindset, a spiritual emotion. That feeling changes our personal world, and when we hold to that feeling, refusing to lose it, we position ourselves in the world of miracles.Nehemiah 4:14 says, "Don't be afraid of the enemy! REMEMBER the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your friends, your families, and your homes!" (NLT, emphasis added)We lose faith when we focus on the problem rather than God. What are you thinking about - God's answers and promises, or the problem itself?"So N455! What problems are you facing today? No problem is greater than God. FOCUS on God's promises and not your problems alright!
