What Are You Basing Your Life On?

What Are You Basing Your Life On?

There is so much going on in the world. Every time I turn on the news I hear of more people losing their jobs, increase in unemployment and sickness and diseases. There are some people dealing with divorce, problems with their children or stress of on the job. There are many distractions we have to deal with. This being said, ask yourself – Do I base my life on my circumstance or on the Word of God.

I have gone through some things where I based my life on the things going on in my life; the circumstances said that I was “doomed!” I couldn’t see a way out. Have you ever gone through something where the circumstances were so “in your face” and so loud that you couldn’t see or hear anything else but that circumstance/problem? I think we all have been there at least once. Even though your circumstance/problem presents itself “bigger” than God, it’s not! In one on my children’s books it says “There will never be anyone or anything greater or more powerful than God.” This is so true. I think we don’t always know or believe this when presented with really big problems. I thank God I have learned to turn to the Word of God when situation, circumstance or problems arise. God’s Promises are yes and amen. His Word is true and should be the only truth in our lives. The Word of God WORKS! When problems arise, I know that I am not alone. I can be strong and courageous because God never leaves me nor forsakes me; He’s with me everywhere I go (Deuteronomy 31:6). Psalms 16:7-8 says

7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. 8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken for the Lord is right beside me. Amen! When we can’t see a way out, God will guide us, counsels us out of our troubles; we cannot shaken knowing that the Almighty is right beside us. God knows the thoughts He has towards us; they are thoughts of good and not of evil, to give us a hope, a future, and expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). Is unemployment good or evil? I think it is fair to say that it is not good so it must fall under the “evil” category. The God that we serve is a good God that knows how to give good gifts unto His children (Matthew 7:11). Having a job is a good thing, being able to pay your bills on time is a good thing, being able to afford your home is a good thing, having a faithful and loving spouse is a good thing. This is all the Word of God, His will for your life, and His Word is what we should be basing our lives. We are the righteousness in God through Christ Jesus. We are more than conquerors in Him, God, through Christ Jesus.

We can conqueror any circumstance that comes our way with God on our side. God is on our, the righteous, side; we do not have to fear! What can man do to us with the Almighty on our side (Psalm 118:6)? God is for me; therefore, no one and nothing can be successful against me. He always causes me to triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14). You don’t know these things if you don’t read the Word of God nor can you live or experience them. Stand firm on the Word of God and see His Salvation for you! You are not doomed! You can and will make it with Jesus as Lord.

Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus!
