I've never claimed to be wise beyond years, or claimed to have secret insight on life; but one thing I do know- is the Word of God. I rely on it, and consider it's truths absolute, 100% reliable, and trustworthy. So part of living out our faith, in essence "living by faith and not by sight," is we have to know and stand firm on the Words written in the Holy Scriptures (the Bible). So if you have ever asked yourself the above question, there are several different Bible based answers; I found one of them for you to consider today: 2nd Corinthians 1;8,9.
8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
So I want to inform you today my dear brothers and sisters: that though sometimes the problems (troubles and trials) we go through seem so overwhelming that "we begin to despair even of life itself" ,they more often then not can develop into a "blessing in disguise." We shouldn't be trying to rely on our own resources when we have such an awesome and Sovereign God in Heaven right?! So remember this today: OUR GOD IS RELIABLE; so take your eyes off of your problems or the obstacles you are struggling with in your life;and fix your eyes on Jesus, for you will start living out your faith, the moment you start focusing on Him. Amen.
