Are you in the midst of breakdown?
In the brim of giving up?
In time of troubles?
In between walls that are crushing in?
In Psalms 23:4 it says:
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You
are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. "
David continue to walk despite in his darkest hour(in the valley). He chose not to fear any evil. For he knows that God
almighty is with him and His rod(guidance) and staff(authority) comforts him.
In the very situation you are in, continue to walk through it, continue have faith and not fear, continue to believe and trust God is with you and enter into His Word and ask Him to direct you. His presence will be there to calm you, His Holy Spirit will be there to guide you. And you will be overcomer in Christ. =)
Or are you saying:"God i prayed! I really prayed for breakthrough. I really really really prayed! Why is this happening to me?"
Remember Evan Almighty? When the wife ditch the husband who thinks he is Noah and will be saving the world, 'God' came as a waiter before the wife.
'God':"Why are you so troubled?"
Wife:"That guy on the Television is my husband. He's crazy."
'God':"He is doing what he was called to do. To change the world. He prayed that he will be a world changer. Now is the chance for him to do so."
"When you
prayed for patience,
will God input patience instantanouly or will He give an opportunity for patience to be trained?When you
prayed for unity for the family.
Will God give unity instantaneously or will He give an opportunity for your family to be united?"
Apply this to your current situation!
Is this the opportunity to breakthrough as you had previously prayed? Are you seeing what God has planned?
My takeaway is
BE OPTIMISTIC! Even all things may seems dark and without light, God is there helping you going through all this and molding your character! Yield to God and incline to the Holy Spirit for guidance!
Lastly I want to
THANK GOD!
Thank God for the revenues He provided me with, cause i thought that i won't be doing the balloon sculptor job anymore. I rejected my boss a lot of times. However, at the moment , i thought to myself that i'm poor, my boss actually called me. Initially the job pays $500 but eats into S1 timing, so i prayed about it. The event was canceled unfortunately and i thought must be God want me to go for S1. BUT HE DID ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT my boss gave me another one which will get $360 only but I'm able to attend S1 together with you guys!
Praise God!If God can create an opportunity for Henry, God can create one for you too!
With Agape,
Henry
