WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES LOOK INSURMOUNTABLE

Sometimes, when there is so much chaos going on in our world, I have to pause and remind myself that Almighty God is still on His throne and that Jesus Christ is still seated at His Father’s right hand. Glory to God! Yes, I have to remind myself that God’s word said, “…Circumstances are temporary, but the word of God is eternal.” I remind myself that God said, “…I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Then I remind myself that Jesus said, “…He always lives to make intercession (praying) for us (those of us who have accepted Him as our Savior and Lord).” So, when circumstances try to overwhelm me, I also remind myself that my God said, “…I will NOT FORGET YOU. See I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands…” Thank You, LORD GOD! I remind myself that Almighty GOD, also said, “…My word will not return void (empty).” I know that I can put my confidence in God because His word declares, “God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent…” Hallelujah to the King of Glory! When circumstances look insurmountable, I remind myself that my God gave me an alternative to looking at the circumstances. He said, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” I remind myself that God said in His word, “…I AM ready to perform My word (I will watch over My word to perform it).” Thank You, LORD GOD! Hallelujah! When circumstances look insurmountable, I remind myself that God’s word says, Jesus Christ is our PEACE and He has broken down the middle wall. Thank You, Lord Jesus for making it possible for us to have access to God and thereby, granting us the ability to go directly to God in prayer. Father God, thank You for always reminding me to trust You and Your word, no matter how the circumstances look because You created the heavens and the Earth long before YOU created man. I also trust Jesus Christ, Your Son—my Savior and Lord. Heavenly Father, You are my Keeper, my Protection, and the Source of my very existence. I am forever grateful to You, Heavenly Father!
