What Happens When? When Nothing Seems To Be Working The Way You Expected ...

What happens when?  When you don't know what to do.   When you can't seem to make ends meet.   When you are tired.  When you are lonely.  When the struggle just doesn't seem to end.   When people don't act the way you expect them.   When people forget how you helped them.   When you pray and nothing seems to be happening.   When you are sick and it doesn't look like the prayer is working.   What happens when?

You have to understand that even in your "when" situation, God has not changed.   His promises are still true.   His power is still at work.   He has a ram in the bush.  He is still the Healer.   Jesus still died for you.   GOD IS STILL GOD.   So learn how to give it all over to God and "when" these things come up in your life ... just realize ... God is still in control of your when.

Don't Allow Your Emotions Or Your Flesh To Cause You To Doubt God's Faithfulness ...

God is faithful.    Have you ever been in a position where you tend to doubt the faithfulness of God?   Where things weren't working out and no matter how hard you tried to trust God ... everything seemed to be getting worse.    If so, understand, God is always faithful.    Faithfulness is who and what God is.  

Even in the midst of our struggles, God is faithful.    Don't allow the intensity of your struggle to cause you to doubt God or His goodness.    Don't allow your emotions to override your knowledge of who God is and what He will do.   Don't allow your mind to shift or be changed based on what you are going through.    God's timing and God's ways are not the same as ours.    He sees it all and He has already put a plan in place for your deliverance.   Just trust Him.  Don't trust your emotions or your flesh ... TRUST YOUR GOD.

Are You Allowing Life To Cause You To Venture and Go Astray?

It's time to stop going astray.   The word astray is defined by the Bing Dictionary online as going off the right path. A path is a course or a route that you take.    Sometimes there are obstacles on the path that causes us to take a detour.   Sometimes there are other people on the path that push us off as they go past.   Then there are times when we "wander" off the path on our own.    It's time to stop going astray.   

We have to understand that God's way is sure.   It is proven.   It has been tried and is true.    God is the leader on His path.    His word is our guide.    Not only that ... He has given us angels to stand guard over us while we are walking along His path of obedience.     It's time to stay focused and to stop venturing off.   When we venture, we expose ourselves to unnecessary danger and hazards.   Stand still if you need to.   But whatever you do, don't go astray.

Are You Making Sure You Are Being Humble ... Whether You Are The Giver Or The Receiver, Be Humble ...

Thankfulness and Gratefulness.   We have to learn to be thankful and to be grateful with humility.    So often we say we are thankful and we say we are grateful … but are we really being humble about it.   Are we saying it with an attitude that indicates we feel we deserved it in some way or another.    Even if you are on the other end of giving.   The one who is in a position to give to someone else, are you giving with a heart of humility or are you giving self righteously.   Giving in a way that you are saying within yourself that the person you are giving to needs to be thankful.
  
Whether you are the giver or the receiver, you need to make sure that all you do is done out of a humble and loving heart.   For you would not be in a position to give nor receive if it were not for God.

Are You Allowing The Enemy's Actions To Affect Your Emotions?

What is your response to what the enemy is doing?   Are you responding in fear or are you amping up your faith?    Are you resting in God...
