When we take it upon ourselves to solve the issues, and confront the enemies in our lives, we are destined to be fearful and anxious, but if we hand our cares to God in prayer He will take them, and free us of our fright, and concern. He is wise, strong, able to solve every trouble, and when we trust in Him, He will refresh us, and return to us His peace.
When our enemies are marching against us, or problems appear ready to overcome us, we drop to our knees and pray, but quite often we hear only silence. However, God is not impressed with the strength of our adversaries like we are, nor does He fear the impending doom of problems that cause us to quake. He remains calm before calamity because it is He who has made the raging sea, and He who calms it. When facing the armies that assemble against us He remains still, even though our enemies might run at us like prides of lions. And, even if every pride in the land were gathered together as one, He is unimpressed, because they were made by His hand, and can be easily defeated with a single Word from His mouth. Do we doubt that God hears our prayers, or do we mistake His silence as a sign of fear or His inability to help us? Do we lean on Him as completely as we should… with all certainty?
When we are facing hardship or correction in our lives do we keep Jesus foremost in our minds? Oh, we praise Him, and glorify Him, when all is peaceful, and right with us, but what about those times when we endure God’s discipline, learn lessons that involve great suffering, or confront the twisted roads of life?
