Text: 1 Samuel 1:18
And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
From the text above, this is an example of one who has taken her problems to God and left it there.
Today, some or most of us may lack this same confidence and this may be so because we are moved by sight and not by faith. We pray, we sing, we plead to the Father to help us and still remain in a state of pain and agony. It is important we learn to leave it there at his throne, but how? You may ask. After we ask, let's keep working and most importantly read his word; The comfort from his word will see us through till that which we seek comes to pass. Have confidence in him today and always for he is God who never sleeps nor slumber.
Ephesians 3:16-17
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
A life with God in it is a fulfilled and well spent one. But how can a life be well spent if our physical life is hard: It's difficult to get rent paid, what is earned cannot make ends meet, health is failing because one is psychologically drained.
To get answers to these questions, we must go back to the foundation (The Bible). If we study and meditate, God will give us peace that passes all understanding. This peace makes things easier, gives joy which gives the right atmosphere to think creatively. It may not be that the situation has changed but it is the faith that God is fixing things up and it can only get better.
To every one of us who thinks God is far or who is putting their trust in man, think no more for God is standing by, put your trust only in Him. Indeed in Him, we can be happy always. For he is the God who can do more than we think or imagine.
