In Your Distress See God's Mighty Power in You!

In Your Distress See
God’s Mighty Power in You!

This morning you watched the news. Depressing again!
Nothing positive – from – Who is going to win the 2016 election?

to – Violence on our cities;

To Abortion ; National battle of the bathroom; Our Supreme Court decisions ;

To Misery in Louisiana; the growing power of ISIS; More Christians being executed; 1,500 Americans wash up in Canada – and – the list goes on and on!

You, like many of us are almost discouraged. But you do not want to be.

What do you do?
You remember one thing – prayer !

Prayer is an excellent way to keep correct our priorities throughout the day.
Our prayers are surely effective against the overwhelming evil in the world.

So, during stressful time we come to God and express our true feelings, concerns and our needs. We often pray and ask God to rescue us from those circumstances.

But, in prayer and in his presence our souls are lifted up. We surely find ourselves going from praying to praising God – our Savior, Helper, Protector and Friend.
After all as David asked “What can mere mortal man do to me?”
Surely they can inflict suffering, pain, destruction and even death. But no person or government can rob us or our souls of Jesus Christ, his love, care and the eternal life.

Jesus said,
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.” Matthew 10:28.

Remember – God is aware of everything that happens in our lives.

We are valuable to him. He sent his Son to die for us.

As God placed such a value on us, we shall not be fearful from any attacks of the overwhelming evil in the world. Those cannot shake God’s love or dislodge his Spirit from within us.
God does not take away all our troubles or trails. John 16:33 Instead, he asks us :”Be courageous. I have conquered the world.”

So, our real test of faith and value is how we hold up daily for Christ in spite of all our distress, troubles and overwhelming evil from the world .

Those of us who stand up for Christ in spite of all those circumstances will see God’s Mighty Power in us and in the world around us.

God wants to use us as his agents to change us and change our world with his power.

Are you ready to see God’s Mighty Power in you and your Distress ?

I want to encourage and share with all, how God’s Mighty Power is real and has been working in my Distress, under Cruel Persecution and in my Life daily.
