“THE BATTLE IS NOT OURS, IT’S GOD’S”

Was a comment I loved yesterday. I hope you’re getting this important message that God is our Partner in every aspect of our lives. I got a chance on Saturday to have some time with a 22-year-old young lady who reads my blog posts and she made me so happy. As she fought to hold back tears, she told me how I’ve inspired her and that she has learned to RELAX and to trust God, that He’s her protection.

I still can’t get over how I have an important deadline to meet in the U.S. this month and the perfect person just happened to show up out of the blue to assist me. And this is something that happens over and over again, whenever I face a challenging situation, the perfect people show up to assist me or the perfect solutions pop into my head and I’m like, “Wow, God, You’re too much!” He directs me one step at a time through any and everything that comes my way!

“Why does God allow bad things to happen?” was the title of an article I read. I truly believe God uses every experience for our good, to grow us up, strengthen us, teach us. Nothing comes to us unless it passes through God’s loving hands first. The article spoke about Joseph in the Bible who was sold into slavery by his brothers and he said to them:

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives” (Genesis 50:20

And no matter the challenge that has come my way, God has used them for my good. Even the “bad” people he sends into my life, he uses them to sharpen me and push me to excel and go higher.

We can live the best lives with God! Bad things will come our way (in this life you will have trouble!), but once we decide to stay on the high road with God, loving extravagantly, forgiving endlessly, doing our best with what He asks us to do, He will fight our battles for us.

Praying continually is my new strategy. Whenever I’m tempted to worry about anything, I say a simple short prayer asking God for His supernatural help and I leave the battle with Him. I trust Him completely because of the many, many times He has proven that He indeed is my faithful Helper. Like I wrote yesterday, we don’t pray enough! Let’s tap into this abundance of power we have available to us.

KEEP CALM, YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
