============
Sitting in my apartment, staring out in space, life seemed to
be a mess. My grades were
suffering. It seemed as if every bill
collector knew my phone number. Then a
knock on the door startled me into reality. “Who is it?” I asked. They said my
name with an inflection of inquisition.
“Yes” I replied. “You’ve been served” the sheriff replied.
In my helpless stupor I had not paid a number of parking tickets. “Why is this happening to me?” I screamed
out!
- “Why me” is the question I scream when things seem to be going wrong.
- “What now” is the question I exclaim when yet another situation arises.
- “How long” is the question I moan when the trial seems to go on and on.
“Is GOD even listening to me” is usually the thought that
pops in my head when things seem to go off track. Then I try to get righteous
by telling GOD how good I am by rolling down a list of how I served HIM in the
past as if HE doesn’t know. Maybe I am thinking of GOD the wrong way.
- GOD is concerned when I go through trials.
- GOD is concerned when I hurt inside.
- GOD is concerned when trouble knocks on my door.
HE is so concerned about me that HE decided to do something
about it. JESUS volunteered to rescue me
from death and the FATHER and HOLY SPIRIT agreed. My belief in the act of JESUS
becoming a human to die specifically for me and HIS resurrection relieves my situation.
I am now part of the most powerful family I could ever ask
for. Now GOD’s promises flow over me and I am truly forgiven and blessed in
spite of my sins and situations.
- Are you going through something?
- Does it seem like you have been in the same situation for a while?
- Can you stop fretting for a moment to praise GOD for HIS many blessings anyway?
- Won’t you open your heart to the understanding that GOD is concerned about you?
