When You Think You Can't Take It Anymore





Several hardships at one time pushes you to your limit. If it’s one thing, you could handle it. But several at one time!  You start your day with car trouble and as the day progresses there's child issues, spouse issues, job issues, money issue, when will it stop?  It's gang-up-on you day. You try to handle one at a time but then they snowball into one big heap of a mess. It's more than you can handle. When I get to that point, I get in my car, roll up my windows and scream at the top of my lungs, while driving down the highway. I look like some mad woman racing down the road yelling. Well, that’s how I relieve the pressure from my troubles.   Yep, I scream until I can't scream anymore. I get out all of my anxiety. No longer am I overwhelmed.  I feel bad afterwards. I realize what I didn't do. I didn't take that problem to God.  He’s there waiting for me to ask for help.  What do I do? I tried to handle it alone. Guess what? Problem still there. 

I should have gone to God first. It would have saved gas and anxiety.  He knows us better than we know ourselves.  He's the one that gives strength. He is the power source. Plug into His Word and you'll see how so many others made it through. Just to name a few: Saul tried to kill David (1 Sam 19:1-22); Satan tried to take Job out (Job 1: 1-22 & Job 2); Paul had multiple problems from hunger, to people trying to kill him, beaten (2 Cor 11:25-30). These were men of God. Now if you think because you are a Child of God that you won't have problems, think again. Bad things happen to good people. Glory in the fact, you're not alone.  With God, that bad ordeal became an experience. Romans says experience is where you find hope (Rom 5:4-5).  Hope is where you find Jesus (1 Tim 1:1).  Therefore, when you think you can't take it anymore, look to Heaven. You can handle more than you think you can.  Your experiences are making you wiser. Hang in here.

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....

Freedom

Freedom Fighter For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” --1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (Meanwhile in Heaven) “Now let’s see what they will do.” “Does anyone know what just happened?”   “I don’t think so Father; look at them scurrying around like ants. They are oblivious to my death.”   “Give it time, Give it time.” “How much more time?”  “Look! There’s one praying. She talks to me all the time. Her heart is so tender and loving like us.”   “Listen.”

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 ...
