When The Rubber Hits The Road..

 When The Rubber Hits The Road..

            There comes a time in our faith journey when a bad incident happens and our results are unexpected and disappointing.  Something unusual happens and life throws you a curve ball below the belt where it hurts. Are you there yet? Have you ever  lost faith because of a betrayal? Someone refusing to act when/ how necessary? Your friend/ family member or community unsupportive? Have you ever felt stranded? It's like getting a flat tyre in the middle of nowhere.

• It's a place of a great crescendo, then a steep batholith to follow. 
• It's the story of Julius Caesar being stabbed by Brutus.  
• It's Alanis Morrisette in Ironic.
• It's Joseph thrown in the pit by his brothers
• It's Jesus leaving Gethsemane without his friends

It's the day you don't want to roll out of bed when you think about what lies ahead.  But rest assured, it is 'lies ahead'.  Whose narrative will you believe, the one in your head or the one that God dictates.  Whose report will you believe?

HIS word to us always is 'I will never leave you nor forsake you'. Deutoronomy 31 

Proverbs 3:5-6 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE will direct your path'.

1 Corinthians 10:13 

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 

No matter how hopeless a situation may seem, there's always a good solution.  Don't give up. Don't give in. Don't sin! God promises to make a way out.  Trusting HIM is hard sometimes, even seemingly stupid. But the truth is, HE is your biggest supporter. When you keep your eyes on HIM and HIS word, HE will always make a way. HE is the God who spoke light into darkness. Every dark reality must surrender to HIS command.  It is this same command that HE has given to HIS children, HIS believers.  HE has given us dominion. Genesis 1:26

The question is do you believe HIM?

It doesn't matter who isn't there when you need them. Humans err.  God is not afraid nor surprised by anything under the sun. If He says HE's with you, my friend, be strong and courageous! Ask HIM to reveal HIS presence to you. Ask HIM to open your eyes so you can see like Elisha that there are so many more that are for you than against you. HE is for you! 2 Kings 6
