Sometimes in life we my reach a point, maybe even more than once, that we find ourselves saying outloud, to God,
"Too much-this is just TOO MUCH!"
We think we can't handle it. At least not the way God would want us to handle it. Or the way we think God "expects" us to handle it.
So we just "give up" and throw out own little (it big) pitty party.
I know. I have been there. Many times. In fact, I am there right now.
Before I picked up my phone to write this post, because I have no intetnet at the moment, I was going on and on with the Lord about my situation. "laying it down before him" - if you will. Kinda like Jeremiah did. You know the great prophet Jeremiah?.....yeah.....and, well the conversation kinda ended the same way as it did for the great prophet. No sympathy from God. Not on this one. Acknowledgement - yes- and encouragement too....and well as some rebuking (in love of course)....but no sympathy.
It's time for the mature in Christ to walk in their call! Not expecting those that are young in the Lord to have the same wisdom and be able to use it.
Prayer is first always without exception........We can NOT take vacation from THIS!
The Word of His is our DAILY BREAD and should be consumed - DAILY.
Also it is a "lamp unto our path"...... And....is a decerning tool....it...."is sharper than any two edged sword. Able to divide between the soul and spirit.".... Among other things.
No more pitty parties!
LIFE FOR THE BELIEVER IF ROUGH.....IF .....YOU LIVE LIKE JESUS!
So - IS it too much?
It may feel like it is.
But, what WE GO THROUGH IN THIS LIFE, what ever the trial, can NEVER COMPARE TO the suffering that Jesus went through for us.....so that we could experience a glory that is INCOMPARABLE to anything IN this world or even anything we could ever imagine!!
So.....let us all continue on standing firm in the faith!! And when we have stood firm - let is then continue to stand firm u.til the Lord calls us home to Glory!
