Use Your Resources

Why do we try and handle things for ourselves when we have a God who is present and actually wants us to run to Him when we face difficult times?

To this day, it blows my mind how we willingly walk through tough circumstances and try to face them in our own strength and wisdom, even after knowing that God said He would be our strength and our fortress when we are in trouble.

As I ask myself the following question, so I also encourage you to ask yourself the same: Why aren't I utilizing the resources God has made available to me?

Though we may deny that we are trying to get through things on our own, our actions say otherwise! To even attempt to get through a situation with your own strength blatantly says to God,

"I DON'T NEED THE HELP YOU'RE OFFERING ME!"

If He said in His word that He is a fortress in times of trouble, a helper, a rescuer, a saver, a shelter...allow Him the opportunity to be those things in your life!

Don't wait for situations to become so overwhelming to deal with, to then run to God to use His resources?

I refuse to continue to put myself through unnecessary stress and aggravation when I know that God wants to take care of those such things for me.

Let's learn to accept the help God has made available for us. He's a gentleman so He won't force his help on us; however, if we run to Him, He'll rescue us just like He said He would!

Let's utilize those resources!
