The year has just started, not even 4 weeks into it that some of us are faced with some challenges already.
It's so easy to think that like the children of Israel facing their Red Sea, that God has caused us to leave Egypt ( the past here) just to get chased furiously up to this point.
Are we going to murmur and act like them when they complained to Moses that he got them out of their comfort zone just to perish on the sea shore?! Are we going to curse the ones who have led us to believe that leaving our dead weights of 2010 and changing our mediocre thinking would truly make our lives better?!
Are we going to fool ourselves into believing that we would have perished in our messy situations of 2010 rather than attempting to cross and enter with excitement into our new/real destiny?!
In this song above, this woman worships God and ask Him to make sure, help her, strengthen her to make it to HIS side, make it to Heaven. She cries out to God as she realizes that the car she has, the friends she has, the things she has, are meaningless if she doesn't make it to His Side.
If you are not yet facing some challenges and that every thing is going " so far so good" for you, brace yourself because the challenges will inevitably come. Like I mentioned earlier some of us are already facing some challenges, aware that though they came 'early' some will still appear along the way.
But I wanted to say, I am yearning to say, its not either or not we already have or will have challenges this
2011, I think we have lived long enough to know that much: " every year, every month, every week" no matter what is going good, great, or better, something is not. Or no matter what is going bad or worst, something is Not.
This is life, as much as we can all find something to complain about there is yet something to be grateful about, and vice versa. I suggest you keep in mind. Let's stick to gratitude rather than complaining, we actually get more accomplished when we do. Let's keep in mind a few things.
Though trouble endures for a night joy will come in the morning
That God will make a way when there seems to be no way
That good things come to those who wait (on the Lord)
That those who put their trust in God will never be put to shame.
That we could lose the world but we better never lose the Word.
That He did not bring us this far to leave us.
Let's step there in our Red Sea and move forward because the sea will only split open as we step in not beforehand. The walk of faith just doesn't walk like that.
So let's step and move forward, one step at a time and instead of focusing on the enemies, situations behind us let's get our tambourines, let's raise our voice to Him who promised to give us a new song.
Let's remember that no matter how intimidating the situations look, our GOD has gotten us out of many messes over and over again and NOTHING is too hard for HIM so if things might look worst than before to us, to HIM that's still an easy fix. From HIS position whatever we are facing is so tiny, so remember that HIS WAYS ARE ABOVE OUR WAYS, HIS THOUGHT ABOVE OURS, and let's change our perspective like this worshipper in the video and focus on making it to HIS side because He hides HIS worshippers in the shadows of HIS wings and HE is a fortress to those righteous who run to HIM and no matter how deep some might be in their messes HIS hand is not too short to deliver.
I hope those words will bless you ( and me ) over and over again. I look forward to hearing your testimonies and worshipping HIM with you and for you.
With Love.
