Are You Holding On To God Even When Life Seems Unbearable or Are You Trying To Revert To Your Past?



Sometimes in life things become overwhelming and they seem to be unbearable.   But God said that He would not give us more than we can bear.   It is at those times we have to trust what He has said.   We have to believe His Word and we have to stand on His promises.   

When you are holding a rope and you are pulling it while being tugged on the other side, sometimes the rope slips out your hand and sometimes you get tired of pulling and just let go.   That’s life.   You can be holding on tight to God’s hand and being pulled on every side by the things of your past.   Sometimes you might slip back into them or sometimes you just completely let go of God and walk back in them.   But understand, you are stronger than that.   You are stronger than anything that is pulling on you or at you.   Things pull at you when they entice you.   Things become enticing when they offer you pleasure.   You have to find your pleasure in serving God.    You have to let your pleasure in Him and His Word override all the other pleasures of life. 

We seek pleasure because we are emotional beings.   But don’t allow your emotions to dictate your actions.   When you are feeling overwhelmed … Go to God.   When things seem unbearable … Go to God.   When your past pulls at you … Hold on to God.    God is your source of strength and He wants you to trust Him to deliver you.   Understand, He can’t deliver you if you choose to let go of Him so that you can go back to what you once knew.    Deliverance means coming out … not staying in a thing.
