What Do You Do When Things Get Hard and You Don't Understand? Are You Staying Anchored To God and His Word?

Have you ever been in that place where things just seem to get harder and harder?   The place where no matter what you do, it seems as though things are not working out for you.   The place where you seem to be consistently and continually asking God why, what's going on, and where is the answer you have been praying for?   Understand, THAT PLACE is a place of dependence on God.   It's still a place of security even though you may feel insecure.    It is secure because there is no better hope or anchor than God and His Word.

It is my prayer today that even in the hardest situations where you feel as though you are going to sink and fail that you realize that God's got you.    Think about Peter and how he walked on water.   Water is not a secure foundation but when you are in faith and your heart and mind are fixed on God and His ability, even the things that don't have the characteristics of being secure ARE SECURE IN GOD. 

God said He will never leave you nor forsake you.   He said that He will watch over His Word to perform it in your life.   He said that He knows the things you have need of and He is faithful and just to give you what you need.   God said His love for you is unending.  TRUST WHAT HE HAS SAID and REMEMBER WHAT HE HAS DONE.   Understand, He is not a man and He does not lie and  He is not a respecter of persons.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Hebrews 6:18-19

“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;”

Pressing On and Into The Calling Of God For Your Life

Sometimes life can be hard.   You don't know which way to go or how to get there.   How to get to that special place that God has ordained for you to be.   The place of peace.   The place of power.   The place of strength.   The place where everything seems to be in place.   It may be hard to get to that place but you have to know that God has prepared that place for you.   It's not a figment of your imagination.   It's just a place where you may have to overcome many obstacles in your life to get there.

Today I want to encourage you to press on.   Not only press on, I want you to press in.   Press into the power of God.   Press into the gifts, the talents, and the abilities that God has placed on the inside of you.    Press into God's Word.   When you press into something, you have to use force.    It takes action on your part.   Don't let life keep you from pressing into the way, the will, and the Word of God.   

I pray today that you see beyond where you are and recognize where God wants you to be.
