That was me to my hubby after we spent Valentine’s Day watching TV in our living room! BUT, I LOVE OUR BORING LIFE! Wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world! I LOVE OUR FAMILY, BOO! Forever us! ‘Til death do us part!
We ended up watching a TV evangelist here in Nigeria, T.B. Joshua, and it was if was talking directly to me as to what to do when we face trials. He had three critical points I want to share with you:
- DON’T PANIC; STAY CALM
- BE DETERMINED TO TACKLE WHATEVER THE SITUATION IS KNOWING GOD IS HEPING YOU
- PAY ATTENTION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT (GOD’S VOICE IN YOU) FOR DIRECTION
Got that? I’m so on to God, though, He knows precisely the problems each of us needs to get us where He would have us to be – WISER, TOUGHER, STRONGER AND MORE DEPENDENT ON HIM. I told ya, when I have my moments, I GO RUNNING TO GOD, ‘What is this!!!’ And He would always figures out some way to COMFORT me. Count it all JOY when trouble comes your way. They turn us into new people!
Like my screen saver message that showed up on Facebook the other day with this verse at the bottom:
“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20
And the craziest thing about this screensaver, like two years ago it appeared all of a sudden by itself on my computer. I had no explanation other than it was God who wanted it there. So, whenever I have to boot up my system, or go to my desktop, I’m reminded that God’s presence is always with me. Helping me to tackle ANY situation that may come my way. I just have to listen extremely carefully to His direction and what He would have me to do moment by moment and one step at a time and BE OBEDIENT to His voice. God’s got us!
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
