“...You say to God, “I have never seen you provide for me.”
God says to you, “You have never trusted Me.” ― Corallie Buchanan, Watch Out! Godly Women on the Loose
From The Author: Natacha
I truly like the quote above...."You say to God, "I have never seen you provide for me."(We Have). Then God says to you, "You have never trusted Me" (Have We). Do we really trust God, Have he showed up and showed out in your life, he has in mine and yet, I am in turmoil over a situation that I am dealing with as I write this post. I feel that I have no one to turn too, I feel I have ran my mouth about it to everyone and anyone that would listen, BUT----Have I talked to the one who has and who will always provide me for and my family. I will answer the question--Yes, I have talked with God, I have prayed to God, I have even went on a fast, my faith was strong.
See, there is one thing we have to realize and that is, God doesn't look at a clock or he doesn't have a calendar in front of him marking dates, we do. God timing is not our timing but, he is right one time. See, my faith began to waiver when things wasn't happening fast enough for me, I begin to run my mouth(When God has commanded me to keep it shut) looking for pity, because I know that I am being treated wrong, being used and being mistreated. I began to give it to God, Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, Ephesians 3:20--and then when I began to mumble, grumble and complain I took it out of his hand again.
So in the word of God it states, And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him, Hebrews 11:6. When I took it out of his hand, complaining, running my mouth instead of trusting him--Then God said, "Ok, if you think you can handle it, keep doing what you are doing and watch where it gets you...NOWHERE. He was right!
I am in the same place, it seems like the situation is getting to be so unbearable for me now and feel the only way for me to get a peace of mind is to just "QUIT". I blog and preach to everyone all the time about being strong and not giving up but, sometimes the encourager-needs some encouragement. So, I am standing here, right now and encouraging myself. I am who God says I am, I will have and be who God says I am. I am a Survivor, I am an Over comer, I have the Favor of God on my life, I am Blessed, I am the Head and Not the Tail, I am the Lender and Not the Borrower.....I AM COMING OUT VICTORIOUSLY. I Come to Far to give up now.
My Motto:"What you say today can help someone make it to tomorrow."
They always says first to the preacher then to the people. I pray that this blog has or will encourage someone. Keep your head up and know that trouble don't last always.
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalms 30:5
