If we do not have a purpose in life we feel useless worthless and frustrated. So it is important for us to see that God designed us with purpose in hand PS139:16 not only do we need to know our purpose we need to do it on purpose make desisions to live right, love on purpose and give on purpose.
Proverbs 4:18 says to us that God is not angry with us because we have not arrived. He is pleased that we are pressing on that we are staying on the path. We would pick up or guidea one year baby that is trying to walk because we know he needs us. So is God with us He would stay with us until we reach our destination.
Where there is trust there is love
Where there is love there is peace Were there is peace there is God Were God is there is, nothing else is needed. If we complain we open many doors to the enemy. Complaining in any form (thoughts attetudes etc) causes us to live weak powerless lives and sometimes it brings physical illness. When we have the mind of Christ our thoughts will be filled with praise. Take the advice of Psalm 100 and be thankful. Remember complaining is a death principal and thankfulness is a life principle. The Joy of the Lord is our strength be happy.
Challenges are wat makes life interesting overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. Trust God you do not have to do everything on your own. Hebrews 13: 5 He (God) Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not I will not I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake you nor let you down (relax My hold on you asuredly not) Joshua 1:5
Some trained horses have what the trainers call a reining ear. most horses are only guided by the lead strap fastened to the bit in their mouths but some horses keep one ear turned to hear their masters voice and the other one is open to natural warnings. We too must be like such horses and be in tune with Gods voice in our lives. Some people do not hear God because they do not believe and as a result they do not have His Living Word in their hearts John 5:37-40
Expect more from yourself than from others. Because expectation from others hurts a lot ,while expectation from yourself inspires a lot. Believe in the abilities God has given you (2 Pet 1:3).You make a difference. Just believe.
Everyday may not be good but there is something good in every day. Although we cant see God He is a reality. But the enemy wants to prevent us from finding Jesus therefore He will make us tired or keep us busy with the things of this world. Psalm 34:4 I sought (inquire of0 the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on authority of His Word] and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. [Ps73:25 Mat7:7] Press on seek Jesus he wants to be found by you.
Mat 20:16 means that many are called or given an oppertunity to do something for the Lord but very few are willing to take up the responsibility to answer that call. Gods call comes with many responsibilities but also many rewards are you willing to say yes to Him?
Jesus was able to rebuke the storm see Mark 4:39. You cannot rebuke the storms of life if you have a storm on the inside of you. The deciples could not rebuke the storm because they lost their peace and was just as stormy as the storm. But Jesus spoke out of the reservoir of peace and therefore the storm subsided. Put your trust in Jesus He can calm your insides so that you have the peace to rebuke your circumstances.
