Today's Devotion, God is our problem solver. One thing that I have learnt about problems, is no matter how much we try to avoid it, problems have a way of finding us when we least expect it. The only place that there is no problem is in the grave, but on the day of judgment, some people may end up with a permanent problem, and that is where they find themselves.
Heaven is not a problem, but hell is. Some problems come from the choices that we have made, and once we do not learn from our mistakes, we will always continue to repeat our problems. God is our problem solver, and for us to build a relationship with Him, we must learn to give Him our problems through prayer.
The troubles of life can only be resolved when we invite God into our lives, and live according to His ways, not ours. Our problems will not disappear, but God will be there to help us to go through them. In John 16 verse 33 it is written, I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world. Jesus told His disciples that they will be faced with troubles. My brothers and sisters in Christ, things won't always go the way that we expect, and the troubles that we face should never be the reason why we abandon our journey.
In John 11 verse 25 to 26 it is written, I am the one who raises the dead and gives them life again. Anyone who believes in me, even though he dies like anyone else, shall live again. He is given eternal life for believing in me and shall never perish.
When our troubles come in the form of people, give it to God. In Romans 12 verse 21 it is written, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Heavenly Father, give us the strength to overcome the problems that we are going through.
Protect us from harboring suicidal thoughts, and prevent us from doing ungodly things to try and resolve our problems. Lord, when we are afraid, help us to put our trust in you. Lord, no matter what comes, no matter how difficult our situation may be, help us by increasing our faith and removing our doubts.
Lord, let your grace empower us and enable us to overcome every difficulty.
All these we ask in Jesus name. Amen.
