INSPIRASUNS

I’ve been thinking lately about the situations that occur in this life, the places that we find ourselves in. Those situations can find us asking questions, wondering why Father is testing us. What did we do to deserve the situation we’re in? Why are we facing the challenges we’re facing? It’s not uncommon to feel like Father is putting us to a test, that He is seeing what we’re made of.

You know what, I don’t think God “tests” His children. He isn’t sitting in Heaven concocting situations and challenges just to see how we’ll respond. I’m pretty sure Father has more important things to do than play with us like a cat with a mouse. He gave us free will back in the beginning, He gave us freedom to make choices, including the choice of following Him. God doesn’t require that we worship Him. Satan demands it, and there are major strings attached to what satan wants. Father, no He simply asks us to “trust in me”, “fear not for I am with you always”, and “come to me and I will give you rest”.

In this life, there will be trials, there will be tribulations, however, there is always Father. I know there are situations that arise, and there are times when we all feel overwhelmed. Sometimes just getting through the day seems to be a struggle. Sometimes you find yourself asking why. In the midst of those times when you feel the most lost, hurt, or overwhelmed, stop and talk with God. He is not testing His children, He’s calling us, He’s showing us He is here, we just need to stop trying to wander through this life without Him.

Friends, keep focused on Father, don’t let the craziness of this world drag you in. Satan is busy, however, God, well, He is moving in so many wonderful ways. Stay in lockstep with Father, talk with Him, ask for strength, and trust in the power and love that He gives. Also, take the opportunity to pray for others, so that they may be guided by God as well. Together we got this friends 🙂 .

Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
