When your knees are knocking together, and you do not know which way to turn – think of God and His goodness.
When prosperity seems out of the question – give thanks for God’s abundance.
When you want peace of mind – dwell upon the Presence of God.
When your health is under par – speak the healing Word.
When you need inspiration – browse through the Bible.
When the situation seems to need a miracle – remember that nothing is too difficult for God, and the He is performing miracles every day.
I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee (Joshua 1:5).
When we turn to God for help, at once we are joined with God in the midst of our troubles. The presence of God in our mind brings the presence of God to the things that are troubling our mind. It is as if a comforting friend has come to our aid; a friend who has infinite power and wisdom; a friend who loves us as his children; a friend who will suffer with us until the blessings in our pain is revealed.
Why would we try to face our problems alone, when such a powerful, loving friend stands ready to join us, help us and comfort us? Many times it is our pride, ego or false ideas of self-reliance that robs us of this ever-present help. Sometimes it is because we do not want to do that which God would have us do to resolve the problem. Whatever the reason or excuse, we deny ourselves the surest form of help when we do not turn to God.
Today, let each of us bring God into our thoughts, into our problems and into our concerns. Then, each of us will find the strength, courage and hope we need to see the blessing in our pain and to reap those blessings according to God’s will and mighty power.
When…God,
Z gardener
