Why Now?!


Troubles seems to come an inopportune time. Just when everything is going good, then comes adversity. Isn't it enough that we are doing our best to keep our heads above water? I guess not. That's life. You wake up on top of the world, by noon the world is on top of you. There's no escape from life's hustle and bustle.  Every time we turn around, there is something we have to deal with. Why now?



First, God didn't say we wouldn't have troubles. In fact he warned us of them in 2 Timothy 3:12. Note, Jesus knew this to be true and because of this anomaly, in his sermon on the mount he mentioned the poor in Spirit, meek, pure in heart and they who are persecuted for righteousness sake would be alright. You may say those people are located at the bottom of the barrel but actually they are close to the Lord's heart. Therefore, the next time you say why now, just know that Jesus is very near and guiding you to something so wonderful and amazing to behold.  But for now here are a few encouraging scriptures to comfort you:



Psalms 34:6 - This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.



Psalms 34:17 - The righteous cry, and the Lord hearth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.



Romans 8:35 - Who shall Separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
Why now? God has a plan (winks)

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

Get Ready

W hen the Children of God came to the Red Sea, no doubt their motivation levels were very low. They had Pharaoh and his army behind them, mountains on the sides of them and the Red Sea ahead of them.  There seemed to be no way out of this saga.  A movie where the villain has the good person cornered.  You wonder how they were going to get out of it. God's people waited 450 years to be released from Egypt and right at their blessing (crossing the Red Sea), the God's Children cries out to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, has thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore has thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than we should die in the wilderness."  Moses answers the people by saying, "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation ...
