It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed with life’s problems? The more you do, the more you endure. The more money you acquire, the more problems you experience. The more you attempt to help someone, the more heartache you withstand. The more you pray, the more the devil attacks you. Have you ever had one of those days where you wanted to give up on everything and everyone? Those days where everything appears to be going against you. Those days where you continue to be misunderstood by your peers. Those days where it appears that everything you touch crumbles. Have you ever found yourself pressed against the wall with no foreseeable outcome? Yes, you are saved, but you find yourself stuck in a dilemma. Yes, you love the Lord but somehow you find yourself in the midst of a hellish situation.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. In spite of all we endure in life, God is still faithful unto us (His people). In spite of the mistakes we make each and everyday, the Lord still speaks highly of us. Do you realize the things you cried over yesterday, have actually made you stronger today? Do you realize all of the mess you endured in the past has actually qualified you for present and future opportunities? If you had not endured the heartache, heartbreak, or heart renewal you would have never been able to stand as you are now. My friend, when you are going through your storms in life, it is very hard to see how things will work out for your good (Romans 8:28). When you are trying to pick up the broken pieces of your heart, it is hard to see how you will ever love or trust someone again. Just when you decided to stop trying, THE LORD steps in. Child of God, Who Is Like The Lord? The Bible declares in Exodus 15:11 – Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
My brother, my sister, do you realize God may not come when you want Him to, but He will always … always be on time? He may not appear when you think He should, but just before you breakdown, He comes through. Allow me to be very frank with you, it is hard to understand why you are going through. It is hard to understand why you continue to be tested. It is hard to understand why people continue to gossip about you. It is hard to understand why tragedy continues to knock on your door. It is hard to fully understand what’s really going on around you. In spite of what is going on around you, coming against you or happening within you, God is [still] up to something in your life. It may not look like it, but He is. Beloved, Who Is Like The Lord? The Bible declares in Psalms 71:19 – Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
