Sometimes the trails, the tests and the
temptations we pass through makes us become frustrated in life and even deter
us from planning to achieve what the heavenly divine wisdom has charged us to
accomplish in life. We begin to blame ourselves and at times even blame the Lord
for not making our life more prosperous. My question is do you find solutions
to your problems when you begin to blame or criticize the one responsible for the
failures in your life? No! “nothing will change in your life until you change
your mind”. Brethren I want you to know that prosperity comes from the
Lord but sometimes our iniquities, attitudes and behaviors changes the whole
story of our life (Proverbs 28:25). We should not take into consideration that
life is always going to be flourishing as we wish or unnourished as we don’t
wish. Through all the changing scenes of our life, whether in joy or sorrow, we
should not give up. “Do not go down” (Gen 26:2)
through the feminine scene of life at Isaac’s time, he remembered his father’s
story and wanted to follow his father’s path when he went to Egypt for food
(Gen 12:10) but the Lord charge him (Isaac)
not go down to Egypt, life circumstances constantly changes with the
passage of time, do not give up, soon the famine, the sorrow, the poverty, the
hatred and all the challenging scenes of life that negatively affects our spiritual
and physical devotion to God shall pass away, Isaac obeyed the Lord and changed
his mind that “he will not go down to Egypt” by rather remains in the Land of
Gerar and will be there as a stranger, the Lord blessed him and changed his
famine scene of life to prosperity and food in abundance Scene aspect of life
to the extent that the whole town feed at his feet. According to (Ecclesiastes 7:14) “The lord charged us
that in the days of prosperity we should be joyful, but in the day of adversity
consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man
should find nothing after him”. Life scenes and circumstances are constantly
changing with the passage of time, We have our good days as well as our bad
days and this changes in our human circumstances, often cause fluctuation in
our moods however, (psalm 34) says:
such changing circumstances in our life should not in any way affect our devotion for God. Whatever the situation we find ourselves, we should still praise God
because as beings created by God our primary and constant duty is to praise Him
for who he is and what he has done in our lives (Ecclesiastes 12:13). It is
impossible for us to understand the purposes of God for our lives, the future
of our lives is veiled from our eyes but not from the sight of God. ”Can a
woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. Behold I have inscribes you
on the palms of my hands; your wall are continually before me” (Isaiah 49:15-16). The Lord will never
forsake you because he has your name in his pinched palm which the pure holy
flowing blood always cleans your sins attached to your name, The purpose of you
still being in existence is not about your power and might but by his grace and
the purpose he’s having for you. He
knows what he is about to do for us and he will surely make all things
concerning our lives plain in His own time. “Be strong and courageous, do not
be afraid or tremble at them for the Lord your God is the one who goes with
you. He will not fail you or forsake you” So brethren let us trust in God’s faithfulness and depart not from His word for
not granting us our desires in our own time or how we wanted it to be but let
us be glad and with confidence that we will never ever give up or go down
through all the changing scenes of our life whether in joy or sorrow.
