What do you do when things don’t go your way? Who do you turn to and why? You not only need to understand what you do, you need to understand why you do it. Are you doing things out of habit? Just because you did things a certain way in your past doesn’t mean you need to keep doing them that way.
Are you looking to God and for God every day or are you just turning to Him when things get bad? We need to seek God daily. We need to commune with Him on a day to day basis. We need to have our hope, faith, and trust secure in Him. When something is secure, it is fixed and fastened so that it won’t be lost. God wants us to be secure in Him so that our hope, faith, and trust will not be lost when challenges come.
So when challenges come and things get rough, let your first move be to turn to God. Don’t run to people, places, or things instead of God. Run directly to God. Talk to Him and expect Him to move on your behalf.
Life brings with it challenges and we have to understand that God never meant for us to handle our situations on our own. He is ready, willing, and able to help us with whatever it is we need in life.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Psalm 77
King James Version (KJV)
1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
