I Believe In You, Because You’ve Had Me
Deuteronomy 32:4 Amplified Bible (AMP)
4He is the Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are law and justice. A God of faithfulness without breach or deviation, just and right is He.
Have you ever been in a place where you felt as if everything in your life was a fight? Have you seen people who were mean and wicked around you, that gave the appearance that they were able to obtain all that they want and need, and to get away with treating people unfairly and even cruel? Have you been so tired of the struggles you have been in that you felt like saying if one more thing comes my way I think I will just scream? Most of us at one time or another has felt that way. Some of us have been feeling this way for years and wondering what in the world is going on, whether it is health issues, financial issues, relationships issues, job situations, family dynamics, we have all been in a place of frustration and feeling like fighting is all that we do. We pray and ask God what is going on up there seems like the enemy is winning and God’s people are taking somewhat of a beating, and we find ourselves asking what is really good?
As I sat praying over a situation the other day, this is how I felt. Many have been my trials, stresses and challenges, but the one thing I had to admit in the midst of my prayer is that God has been faithful, and He has delivered me out of them all, in one way of another. No matter what I have endured, if I just stayed in the press even when I was tired, God was there and able to see me through, you see in my life He has a proven track record. In De La Soul’s song “say I Gotta Believe,” the bridge says, “Double You, and me…Can walk, together…Until, the road Forever…And so, I touch The treasures of life Everyday…Love, and hate… A face, to face it through… In fact, I got…Your back every day.” Having a point of reference for God’s abilities in our lives will keep us from giving up and giving in no matter how tired and frustrated we may be. When we can look back over our lives and recall and remember what God has brought us through it helps us to remain and to know what He has done before He is more than able of doing again. We have a choice to believe, but as I said the other day is that my choice is that I do not have a choice but to believe. Why, because God for me is all I have. I am not negating that I have a beautiful husband, children and that I have family, and friends but many of the things that we face and go through they cannot help us with or save us from. We must rely on God trusting that Jesus is there making intercession for us as the Holy Spirit works here in the earth on our behalf. We have to begin to understand that the journey that we are on is not just about what goes on here nor is it about just us. Many times things happen as a means to try to distract us or get us off course, because someone is waiting for us, waiting for us to bless them, with our testimony or the blessings that we have obtained from believing God and being able to come out of the test we are within. The other side of it is our responses, and the things we are able to be obedient in here have eternal consequences, and there is the place no one can affect the benefits towards us.
I am far from saying this life is easy, or that we should get to a point where everything is smooth all the time, but trusting and believing God understanding that He before is greater than anything we face, He possess all that we need and more and He is able far above any set of power individuals here in the earth. We have a team of specialist that have a proven track record of victories and wins, and if we are willing to look at that and remember what has already been done, we can see what can be done and what God is able to accomplish, no matter what it may look like on this side, or no matter how tired we may be from the battles we have had to take part in. God is our strength and if in the midst of all that we see and feel, in the midst of all that we are enduring that God with the example and intercession of Jesus and the working of the Holy Spirit we will win the war. Our enemies will either be subdued or rise up to bless us and all that we have need of will be met according to God’s supply which is endless! Understand when God through the vehicle of the Holy Spirit walks with you, you can handle it and He has your BACK!
