What Do You Have The Tendency To Do When You Are Going Through The Tests Of Life? Have You Realized That There Is No Substitute For God?

There are no substitutes for God.   There is no one and no thing that can ever take His place.   The word substitute is defined as a person or thing acting or serving in place of another.  It can also be defined as something you use or add in the place of something else.  

Are you trying to find a substitute for God?   Are you feeling down because you feel as though you need another person in your life?   Are you seeking other people to be a resource for you or are you trusting God to be your resource and to bring the provision to you?   It is easy to get stuck in emotion.   It's easy to look for those things we can see instead of trusting and having faith in what we cannot see.   Emotions cause us to act and to do things that we would not normally do.    We have to learn to stay in faith, no matter what our emotions are inclining us to do.  

When you are inclined to do something, that means you have a tendency to do it.    What is your tendency?   What is your behavior when it comes to you feeling sick or you having a financial need?   Is your automatic tendency to go into prayer or are you automatically thinking about who you can get to help you in this natural realm?  

We have to learn how to trust God.   We have to believe that His Word is true.   He said that He is our Healer.   That doesn't mean don't go to the doctor.   That means to go to God first.   To lay your need out before Him.  To pray and to plead the blood of Jesus over your life.   To ask God to give the doctors wisdom concerning your condition, so that He perfect prescription can be implemented in your life.  

Again ... God is still God and there is no one and no thing that can ever be a substitute for Him.  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONPsalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
