Don't Let Unexpected Situations "Throw" You

As cold is the lack of heat. Darkness is the absence of light.

Fear: a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

Earlier today in the morning, a friend called me concerned about his future. He had just failed one of his classes and became scared he wouldn't be able to graduate. He has a countdown in his mind, one very short. Not only, does he need to redo that class, he also needs to excel in his other classes that he is struggling. A challenge for him, a challenge that will make him change, but a challenge that is nothing compared to God.

As the title from my friend's blog, Israel Sanchez, is called Love Doesn't Let Go, indeed God will never let go of you, but you can let go of him. The daily struggles, of fatigue, stress, lost of focus, and distractions impede men to further grow with the relationship with God. Sometimes they don't just impede us, but they also set us back. Sometimes we get caught up with all of these external dilemmas that out of good habit we try to deal with them and be responsible. We involve ourselves too much in trying to fix the problem that we forget about God. Sometimes the dilemmas are internal like fear and doubt. Every situation, good, bad, or neutral has a choice, has a direction, has a road that God created. No matter how cornered we feel we shouldn't let go.

In Joshua 1 : 5 NLT, says "No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with YOU as I was with Moses. I will NOT fail you or abandon you."

God is always with us, he won't abandon us. Its our choice, and how we behave determines how far we will move away from him. As long as we live, and as long as we are with God, there will be no problem that will be able to take us down. God always has a plan, so TRUST in him.

In 1 Samuel 14 : 6 NLT
"Let's go across to the outpost of those pagans," Jonathan said to his armor bearer. "Perhaps the LORD will help us, for nothing can hinder the LORD. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!"

Trust in the Lord, no matter the situation you are in, having trouble in school like my friend, problems with relationships, lost your job, lost a family member, "STUCK" in life, God has a solution for you. All he is asking for you is to TRUST in him, it doesn't matter what type of person you are, God wants to help you.
