Blaming God versus Trusting God

When what we feared comes upon us, what we dreaded has happened to us. When we could find no peace,no quietness,no rest. When we feel like God above doesn't care about us anymore. Having lost all hope you might feel like there are no true friends to stand by you. whenever someone questions you how you are doing...you wish that you could tell them that,"if only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales! It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas."

Or you might be thinking by yourself that you have no more strength to still  have hope. Everytime you go to bed you might be questioning "how long will this continue!?" Though you try to find peace at least in your bed even there you are frightened by the dreams. You might feel like you have become a burden and that's why you face all this pain!

When our emotions are entangled in these feelings it is easy for us to blame God with wrong doing! We tell ourselves that God has forsaken us and that God is not being good to us and as a result we start questioning God asking him why He allowed this pain...why He didn't stop it from disappointing us! And the most heart breaking thing is when we don't find any answers from God. 
In this time of despair God wants to remind you that He is real no matter how you feel!
Sometimes God tests you by leading you through the times of darkness, times of loss, times of lonliness where you begin to feel that God is somewhere distant from you!

Floyd McClung says in his book "Finding Friendship with God" that, "You wake up one morning and all your spiritual feelings are gone. You pray but nothing happens. You rebuke the devil but nothing changes. You fast...still nothing. You begin to wonder how long this Spiritual gloom might last. Days? Weeks? Months? Will it never end? It feels as if all your prayers simply bounce off the ceiling.

God leads you through this path not to punish you...not to hurt you...but to help you to learn to trust him more. So when you feel like you are drowning without hope instead of blaming God learn to trust him more, with the hope that He will never leave you until He has done what He has promised to you!

Remember, drastic moments require drastic Faith! The book of Job ch1 verse22  says, "In all this Job did not sin by charging God by wrong-doing." We know the loss he suffered, he had to lose his possession, his servants, his children, his health, his joy, his fame...yet he did not blame God instead he made sure that he praised God amidst the loss.

No matter how dry you feel...no matter how your feelings are hurt...strengthen yourself in the Lord because He doesn't change, He is still the same Almighty God who loves you and wants to see you through!

Don't blame God for what you are facing
Instead trust God in what you are facing !

Waiting for a Life Partner !?

6 Things To Do While Waiting On Your God Given Spouse Most Christian singles talk about how they are waiting on God to give them their future spouse pretty often. We all want love and we want God to give us the right person to marry. We want God to bless us and sometimes we get angry when He doesn’t. I’ll be the first to admit it. I have been mad at God before because I felt He was taking too long to give me my spouse. It’s funny because when we get mad at God, we probably look like silly toddlers throwing a tantrum to Him. Being single is actually a good thing. Check out 1 Corinthians 7:8. Paul says, “To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am.” It gives us time to get closer to God which is the number one reason why we are on this earth. That and to help others get to know Him as well. Only God can truly make us happy. Ever seen a miserable married couple? Yea, they are everywhere. Having a spouse is not the solution to your problems.  Eve

Hope deffered !

Image
All was well with me, Now all is shattered within me. Stripped me of honor; Dreams banished forever. Crying never laid to rest, Eyes pouring out tears to God. Crushed with pain Reproached by words, Groping in darkness, Feet fastened with shackles. Becoming a laughing stock, Calling for help with no one to hear! Blown away like a chaff Days passed, plans shattered And so are the desires of my heart! As water wears away stone As torrents wash away the soil So is my hope washed away.  Many wounds with no reason Waiting for renewal to come Trembling seizes my body. Atleast there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down it will sprout again But i as a human can find no hope! Why is my hope uprooted like a plant? Where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me? Is there someone to stand in the gap? Should i call this feeling as Hope deffered makes the heart sick!? At one point or the other we come to the point of life where we feel that all that we hoped for is now gone. Right no

My Daddy !

At some point in our lives we come to a point where we feel like the only thing we held close to our heart is being taken away...without any prior notice, without any warnings some things that we adored just leaves us. When this happens we find ourselves to be broken, bruised emotionally. We feel like we have nothing more precious to lose anymore.  We feel like our happiness is gone. We feel like all the past memories are taunting us and so we tell ourselves that no one cares for us and we try to bear our own pain But the truth is there is someone who knows how much it hurts you...It’s quite encouraging to have a heavenly father who has always been there by our side to wipe our tears, to bind our wounds, to hear our heart’s cry... In fact, He indeed feels the pain we feel; He understands every prayer behind your sighs...He has been faithful to hold your hand to lead you and to be with you. When we as His children ask Him for something in our prayers, he not just gives what we have
