Confidence In God

What do you do when you are surrounded by the Lions of life , chaos, discouragement, helplessness, hopelessness, disappointments, frustrations, fear?

Where do you turn when there is no way out or it appears there is no way out of trying situations that are presented by life?

Being surrounded by the Lion's of life does... can, and will create challenges to our faith. It is a time of really letting go and surrendering ourselves to God...and placing our faith on the Altar of Grace.

Confidence in God is rooted in your personal faith and relationship with God. You and I are aware of the story of Daniel as told in Daniel the 6th chapter.

The King spoke to Daniel and said...Daniel, your God whom you continually serve will deliver you? Daniel was about to be placed in the Lion's Den for holding to his faith and belief in an awesome God.

Daniel had not followed the King's law. Daniel knew if he did follow something totally against his belief in God he would bear false witness to a living God. Since Daniel declared to stand in his faith he was placed in a Lions Den. The scripture states that a stone was brought and laid in front of the mouth of the Lion's Den.

We need to be truthful....life does present us with many challenging situations. Many persons have been in the Lion's Den, or they are already in the Lion's Den and want to give up, and if not in the Lion's Den will one day be thrown into a place of inevitable threat. The obstacles and stone placements in our lives are very real.

However, it is not a question of the Lion's Den and how many Lion's are in our personal den....

The question is one of faith. That is... faith in God who will deliver. An unwavering faith which is unshakable regardless of the circumstances or situations. This faith is to personally know that God is able to deliver you.

Consider this 'Beloved', no weapon formed against you shall prosper!

Consider this 'Beloved', if God be for you who can be against you !

Consider this 'Beloved', God will open doors for you that no man can close!

Yes, a stone was placed at the mouth of the Lion's Den, and it did appear to be a hopeless situation. However, no one but God could already be in the midst of the Lions with his 'AWESOME POWER' to close their mouths and keep them calm.

So it is with you and I at this very moment, this anointed moment ....that God is present in the midst of our crisis, challenges, frustrations and fear.. God says Be Still.

Surrender your faith on the Altar of Grace and see who comes forth from the Lion's Den with no harm done to them...see who comes forth with an uplifted banner of victory and deliverance. Surrender your faith to God who knows you and your trials.

Say to the Lion's in your Lion's Den....Hush, be still....God is Here.....I will, I must hold and stand in faith.

God delivered Daniel and God will deliver you! Hush...God is present !

God Is Able...what problem

You and I face many problems and we are going to have problems. They are something we endure and overcome by the grace of God. My friend, do not be afraid. Remember that God does not give the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. Again, whatever, your problem. Do not be afraid. This power is your power given to you by your Heavenly Father. Look beyond the circumstance and see God. God is the exclamation mark of hope in your life. The real truth is that God is able to offer you peace, God is able to offer you hope. God is able to offer you help. God is able to offer you salvation. Salvation is twofold. Salvation as it relates to eternity and salvation as it relates to your present circumstance.

Remember, Jesus said ,'Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world'. Friend leave your circumstance on this page. Allow this thought to take residence in your spirit. Here is the thought I came across , taken from a biblical commentary. Say it to your spirit, allow it to speak to your soul and translate it in your heart, resolve it in your intellect and take wings with the eagles...they shall mount up with the wings of eagles.

Here is the thought...a general definition of your heavenly father. God!

A general definition of this great First cause, as far as human words dare attempt...
The eternal, independent and self existent being: The Being whose purpose and actions spring from himself without foreign motives or influence...

God! ...he who is absolute in dominion, the most pure, the most simple and most spiritual of all essences, infinitely benevolent, beneficent true, and holy: the cause of all being, the upholder of all things, infinitely happy, because infinitely perfect, and eternally self-sufficient.

God!.. needing nothing that he has made, untimetable in his immensity, inconceivable in his mode of existence, and indescribable in his essence, known fully only to himself, ...an infinite mind can be fully apprehended only by itself.

God!...infinite wisdom, cannot err or be deceived, and who from his infinite goodness can do nothing but what is eternally just, right and kind,
(Clark's Biblical Commentary)

Now, that you have some idea of who your Heavenly Father is, how big is your problem? He is your creator so that makes him your real Father. What is your problem. Give it to God!

( Friend, come again and bring someone with you....leave a prayer and post a comment. Your God is Able,
share with a friend and help someone else who may have a problem today....)

God Is Able

There is nothing impossible for God. God is able. Many times we forget that God can perform miracles. God is able to do abundantly what we expect and do for us beyond our imagination. God can do anything. There isn't
anything God cannot do.

Christians must believe that God can do what he says he will do. God is able. God can work the impossible in the those moments of our lives that seem the darkest, those moments when the storms of life are raging. We Christians must keep the faith knowing that God 's high purpose must be manifest in our lives. This will take a surrendering of our will.

Believing that God is able will allow us to rise above the storm, rise above the temptation, the difficulty. God is a liberator and God is able to help us stand in the faith. One may falter and faint but one must keep the faith in a God who is able to work miracles.

To love God is to love Christ, and to love Christ is to trust the Holy Spirit. The circumstance, the crisis, the moments with out light in our lives are nothing more than an opportunity for God to come in and fellowship with us and we with him. Our lives could only be better, our world a better place. The miracle happens when with faith we realize that nothing is impossible with God. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Psalmist ask the question , who is this King of Glory? He utters in the same voice, ' The Lord of Host', he is the King of Glory. Friend of God, remember God is able.

Prayer

Gracious Father Eternal, giver and sustainer of life, we pray for our world today, we pray for peace , we pray that we may learn to understand one another. We pray to become the people that seek you, that seek your face. Help us now with the power of your grace , guide us with your love, for we know God that you are able.
