5MAY 2015BODY OF CHRIST NEWS Have you ever felt all alone Felt like there is no one who really cares about you and all that you are going through is one trial after another Do you ever feel God is just too busy for you What is God doing So you cry out Lord God where are you Have you really left me here alone by myself Lord have you turned your back to me and my needs Lord your Word tells me you will never leave me alone. So God where are you There are people all around me but no one has a word for me. Lord God what are you doing in my life You pray but you dont see the hand of God moving. Then you wonder Lord are You really listening Lord l I have repented and even fasted. And you feel like giving up but where will you go There is nothing behind you but darkness a world that is dying and passing away. Then you remember God called you out of darkness into His Light. So as you continue to wait on the hand of God to move and prayer to be answered you wait. But Lord the phone company is not waiting the car company is not waiting the bill collec- tors are not waiting. How am I going to pay my rent Lord God why are you silent Speak Lord speak to me. Lord let me know that you care and Im not alone. So you turn on the light and reach for the remote and both of them come on. Then you look outside and your car is still parked with gas where you parked it. Your keys still open the door to your house. God answered me and said My words are truth and life. I will hold back the devourer for your sake. You are not in the Valley of Trial but in the Valley of Blessing. So stop look- ing at what you dont have. God said Why cant you see me Im here with you. You are still standing but you have let doubt and unbelief creep into your mind and have allowed it to take root in your mind. God said Thats why you cant see that Im taking care of all your needs. The reason you feel defeated is that you forgot my words in Philippians 43 Finally my brothers think on these things. So lets repent for thinking on the things that had us weighed down. Lord you gave us what to think on. Lets read Philippians 48 again and then lets read Galatians 522-23 and 2 Peter 15-11. He has not left us. After reading the Word of God you see He is lis- tening and has not left us alone. And He really does care for us. God is teaching us to stand on His Words and He is building our Faith so we will be pleasing in His sight. And we must remember when we are in our Valleys and going through our trials our rewards are greater than the small concerns of this world if we just remember the solution to all our prob- lems are in Gods Word. In Psalm 1 God tells us to be like that tree planted by the river of running water that can- not be moved. God is the only one who can plant a tree by rivers of running water. If we did it would wash up and go down the river. But we are the trees. So let the winds blow for we are rooted deep in Gods Word and we shall not be moved. This tree will not be rooted up but grow deeper in Gods Word. So when the storms of life come and try to uproot us we find the strength and the Faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ and God will be well- pleased with us. Remember without Faith it is impossible to please Him. Paul said he had to fight a good fight and stay in the race and always trust God. No matter how deep the valleys are or how dark the days we must trust God and stay in the race. In the book of Isaiah 4110 God tells us Fear thou not for I am with thee be not dismayed for I am thy God I will strengthen thee I will strengthen thee yea I will help thee yea I will uphold you by the right hand of my righteous- ness.
