Let The Weak Say:. Job Mothiba

Чтение книги онлайн.

      The fact that you have a difficult time doing things that other people can complete with ease does not make you inadequate. It does not make you incapable or weak. And it does not make you a failure. It makes you human. The truth is that everyone struggles with something. No matter how happy or well-adjusted a person may seem, we all have fears that hold us back. Despite how put together someone may seem on the outside, no one is perfect, and that is okay.

      Whether you have a difficult time being social, talking on the phone, becoming independent, using your voice, entering a relationship, connecting with others, finding a job, or getting out of bed each morning to face the world. Know that it is okay. And know that despite your struggle, you are capable, you are talented, you are important, and you are enough.

      You know life is worth the struggle when you look back on what you lost and realize what you have now is way better. Sometimes it is hard to realize that right where you are, is where you are supposed to be. The truth is every time you thought you were missing out on something important, you were given the opportunity to experience something valuable in its own right. Every time life’s obstacles rejected you from something good, you were being redirected to something, or someone, equally wonderful.

      You may not have ended up where you intended to go, but trust, for once, that you have ended up where you need to be. Trust that you are in the right place at the right time. Trust that every experience has something to offer you. Trust that something that feels like a curse in the moment can blossom into a blessing. Above all trust in the Lord. “For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.” (Romans 11:36)

      Many of us are looking for the right things but, we are looking for them in the wrong places. Real peace comes from within you not outside of you. Things, assets and people cannot bring you lasting peace they can only bring you limited pleasures. Thus, all of the things that will give you enduring happiness, and eternal joy, will all come from God not from man including a good wife or husband. That is why you need the favour of the Lord not luck. Moreover, a good woman is not hard to find but, a virtuous one is (Proverbs 31:10). And, a good man is not hard to find but, a faithful one is. (Proverbs 20:6)

      Perhaps you are looking for a job or promotion and you have been attending interviews and waiting for the results. Tension does not have to mean something is wrong, it could just be something is happening. There can be no movement without tension. It tells us that we are close to something in the purpose of God. When you are right at the door of breakthrough, Satan will send something to get you out of the way. Then, you know you are walking with God especially when the devil keeps getting in the way. The arrival of an enemy is an indicator that you have been or are about to be promoted. So, “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame…” (Isaiah 54:4).

      No matter what has happened or taken place some weeks ago. No matter how rough it is been. No matter what did not make sense. God’s faithful. Go to bed tonight believing God will have it all worked out in the morning. Sometimes what you need is not a prophetic word, but a more consistent exercise of your faith. I do not know about you, but I believe there is a shift in the atmosphere; some things that I have been praying for will be answered soon. So, I am at peace.

      No matter how life has been, there will always be opportunities to experience more goodness. So, we should thank God for all He does for us which we do not deserve. Impatience is the root of most of our problems. You cannot always force life to give you answers now, but you must let them unfold before you with time. For it is not often that you sow and reap in the same day.” Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14)

      Even though life is full of disappointments, failures and setbacks. None of these things can permanently stop you. But, you are the only person who can do so. You may be growing weary but do not give up, refuse to quit, or to back down. God’s about to open some doors for you and your situation will change. God saw your end before your beginning. He is not indifferent to what is happening with you. He knows your struggles. He will put the pieces back together if you will let Him. It is not too late.

      You might have messed up, made some mistakes, been abused, or have been broken-hearted due to circumstances in life. But, you are still alive. You might be broken, but you are unstoppable. You might not be who or where you want to be. But, you are not going down. Where there is a will there is a way. Have courage to stand up, make some adjustments and keep moving forward. God will see you through. You may be “hard-pressed on every side, but you are not crushed…” (2 Corinthians 4:8)

      If you are suffering or walking in the realm of not enough it is not Gods fault that is not his will for your life. Your seasons of struggle are not caused by God. So, stop blaming God, for most of the problems you see are man-made, whether it be personal or global, the solution is down to you. Some problems can only be overcome by growing up in the Lord. And, no one ever grows in God by waiting around and saying I do not have time. Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. “All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18)

      Everyone has ups and downs, self-doubt, and negative thoughts. So, whenever your perspective on something creates pain, it is because you have yet to see all the good it will make possible. Just because you are struggling does not mean you are failing. Besides, how can you fail if you have not stopped trying? How can you lose something if you are still capable of giving? The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. Thus, the same heat that melts the candle, hardens the clay. So is the circumstances around you reveals the true character within you.

      And, every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there. So, do not submit or quit. I declare that you are victorious, for the things you have been struggling with are coming to an end this season in Jesus name. God is going to do a new thing. (Isaiah 42:9-10)

      The challenge you are facing, it is not happening to you; it is happening for you. God is going to use it to your advantage. You may not know when or how long it will take to be victorious, but like Job, there is something better on the other side of your ordeal. So, embrace the possibility that the best is yet to come, and you just may discover that it is. God will make a way just as He did with the Israelites. “By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land…” (Hebrews 3:11)

      Life is not a fairy-tale. Not everything is a bed of roses and sunshine. There are so much mountains of problems in life to overcome. Some mountains are not meant to be moved but, they are meant to be climbed. You need to work hard, endure pain and pressure all the way. As some would say pressure only makes you stronger. Well, do not forget that burnouts and breakdowns are also real. Sometimes you cannot be “real” until you can relate. Some things are better said than done.

      So, it is important to nurture yourself when under duress. And when a mountain look too hard to climb, remember the one who made the mountains. He knows the way to the top and has the power to take you up there. For the Bible says “Before the mountains were formed or the earth and the world were brought forth, you are God from eternity to eternity.” (Psalm 90:2)

      You may be going through a difficult time, but be encouraged that you are not alone. Always remember, no matter how many problems you have, there is always someone who has more. I have never met a person who was not weighed down by some kind of problem or burden. So, whatever has thrown you off course, know that the loving arms of God and His endless grace are there to put you back.
