We all are going to face our mountains in life. It is how we handle them that matters. How do you react when something bad happens to you? What kind of attitude do you display during adversity? Do you grumble and complain or do you find the hope in all things? We must accept the fact that our lives will have bumps because it is in those times that the Lord will mold us and make us into the image He intended for us. It is in those times when we are humbled to our knees and learn that He is all sovereign and we are nothing without Him. Note the word "reign". Our God reigns, our God is our permanent supreme authority. He may allow something in your life to occur because He is trying to get your attention. You may be so distracted that you are losing sight of who He is. He is your provider, not your employer. He is your great physician, not your family doctor. He is the One that blessed you with your home and car and possessions, not you. We tend to deny the Lord in the good times yet blame Him in the bad yet there are so many things He does not "create" nor "cause" in our lives. He allows our free will therefore we are in need of taking accountability for a lot that happens in our lives. We all need to accept the Lord in to our life, mean it with all our hearts and surrender it all to Him and allow Him to be the center of it all. Love God more than anything, anyone. And when our trials come and they will, we will have the rock of Christ Jesus to stand on and know that He will get us through safely and soundly to the other side without drowning or stumbling. Won't you let Him back in so you don't have to suffer alone? He wants to be there for you- all He is asking is that you let Him.
Psalm 57:2
Isaiah 26:4
