Trust God

Why do we attribute all good things to God but we find it so hard to go to God when we are going through struggles. We stop going to church,praying and start saying I am trying to get myself together. What? How can you get yourself together without the one who created you. Children of God please open your eyes or as my Nigerian people say shine your eyes lol. You will kept being where you are(not maturing in Christ)  if we do not go through test or trials we will not grow. For example in school we are in one class/grade and we want to move on. We will be given an exam to take to move on to the next level. It is the same way with God. He will not reveal secrets,mysteries and so much good stuff to babies. My Nigerian people know about this. They say what an old man sees sitting down, a young man cannot see even if he climbs the biggest tree lol. It is the same with God. People who are still babies in Christ do not understand the big things. Your spiritual eyes are closed. You can only grow in spiritually from spending time with God ( by reading your Bible, praying, fasting,worshiping Him) in your own time. Disclaimer I did not say go to church. So many people think going to church is suppose to solve all their problems. NO. Do not get me wrong. I love going to church to fellowship with other believers. It is awesome but you have to have your own special time with God as well. Today with so many false teachers people have to be careful what information they are receiving. If you want the full effect. You have to understand the word of God.  God test us but He does not tempt us? In Psalm 66:10-12 The Israelites were going through a hard time "they said they were refined like silver". I know that must hurt.

If you loose a job, can't find a job,children are acting wayward,loosing friends, broke up with a boyfriend or life seems so tough let me say. You have neglected your personal time with God. God tells us to Rejoice always and to give thanks in all circumstances so if we are not having communion with God it is going to be hard to see why certain things are coming up. Please read the rest of the Psalm 66 to verse 20 to see what happened next.

 If you are in sin and are going through so many hard times. It is the devil frustrating you. You have to be dead to sin maximize God's grace. Read previous blogs to see if you are covered from the devil's schemes.

This blog is one of my shortest because is an encouragement to myself to stay focused on the things of God (Matt:6:33). God has been with me for 21 years of my life even though I have not always been with Him. I have nothing to loose in trusting Him. I know he has great and mighty things in store for me. Jer. 29:11
