“No matter how badly we may want to put something back together, sometimes God is the only one who has the glue.”
I was brought to this realization last night in a dream. Sometimes you really do reach the “after you’ve done all you can” point when it comes to certain things. That point where words no longer matter and actions lose all effectiveness. This is what we call a “God Problem.” It is one that we have neither the expertise nor the tools to fix. But in God’s eyes, what better predicament to find yourself in? Matthew 11:28-29 (AMP) says:
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.”
God LOVES to pick up where we leave off as it gives us every opportunity to jumpstart or revitalize our relationship with Him. As I was reading this verse, He said to me, “Just get on my page and all of your solutions will meet you there.” There’s a freedom and a lightening of the load that comes along with trading the issues that plague the mind for God’s load. Give God the “stuff” and focus on getting into Him and who He is (as He says in the scripture, “Learn of Me”). It also gives Him the chance to use His state of the art tools and showcase His flawless workmanship with regard to life’s problems. He has within Him the ability to direct hearts, [re]unite people, achieve the impossible, perfectly time our placement with the right opportunities, defy all odds, etc. He orders our lives and their contents with such precision…all He wants us to do is be willing to trade it all for a closer walk with Him…

Hello Ashley
ReplyDeleteThis is truely a good place to be. Trust demands rest. Trust=commitment; no matter what, I'm trusting and standing still, unmoveable!
REST= Abiding in Him; He can endue us with the all conquering, all miracle-working power of the Divine. It has taken eight yrs to get me here--where as you say--it is "Gods problem" now. I have the attitude of Esther--"if I perish, I perish--If I'm ridiculed--so be it-I'm trusting God.
Listening to Creflo Dollar--he said "God only fights when we take our rest. We release supernatural/divine intervention to take place."
This is when we can confidently proclaim--"this is God's battle not mine." Ex 14:14
May the Lord con't to bless you Ashley,
thank you for sharing your gift and love for the Lord with us.
God says come to me all must surrender to HIM and HE will do the rest. This is the time for us to give it up to GOD! No more worries, no more strife, no more envy, no more unhappiness, no more bitterness, for GOD is the great I AM! When no one else is there to lean on we can be comforted by GOD and GOD alone who better than our FATHER who is everywhere present! Pam W. C.
