Soooo.......How should we respond when we find ourselves in a trial, test, or storm. The answer to this question is VERY IMPORTANT, because it determines the OUTCOME! When you are a Christian, your response is supposed to be different from how you would of responded before salvation. I find myself in a battle THAT GOD IS FIGHTING for me right now, and I had a choice to make on Tuesday. God wanted to see if I was going to seek Him and pray, or do things MY way! I chose GODS WAY, because that is the ONLY way that guarantees VICTORY and HEALING! It is certainly a testing of my FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD, FOR REAL! I chose to read Gods word, pray and seek His guidance! I chose to be obedient to what God commands us to do in these types of situations! So, how do respond to those who seek to destroy you, those who try to break you down, those who try to get you to react in a certain way by baiting you, those who conspire behind your back, those who talk about you and drag your name in the dirt, those who wish evil on you........YOU RESPOND WITH LOVE!! THAT SOUNDS HARD, I KNOW, but if you ASK God to help you, ask Him to give you the strength, you will have no problem doing so! God is love, and if you have a relationship with God, if you have been seeking His face everyday through prayer and reading the bible, it will seem effortless! NOW, I'm not saying that the emotions that arise because of what your going through won't bring hateful thoughts and hurt feelings, because we are HUMAN, and emotions are a BIG part of how we are made. I'm saying, don't allow your emotions to MISLEAD YOU! Do not seek vengeance, because God said that belongs to Him! Don't respond with pride, because PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL EVERY TIME, and DEFINITELY don't pay EVIL with EVIL! The ONLY thing that can overturn evil is LOVE! That is how God wants us to respond, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO DESPISE YOU, LOVE THE ONES WHO HATE YOU! That is how we unlock our blessings that are to come, respond with LOVE and the windows of heaven will open up for you, you will see the move of God in the situation! God is already working it out, God has already given us the VICTORY! NEVER FOCUS ON HOW IT LOOKS RIGHT NOW, ONLY FOCUS ON THE PROMISES GOD MADE TO YOU, FOCUS ON GLORY!!! Play encouraging music, pray pray pray, read the word of God, enhance your faith, pray for the ones who are TRYING to cause your downfall, AND WATCH GOD BREAK HEAVEN WIDE OPEN!!!! Remember, RESPOND WITH LOVE, don't call into the snares and the traps that your enemy tries to lay for you! GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH ALL THE WAY TO YOUR EXPECTED END!!! I love you to LIFE!! GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!!!!
"You have heard that it was said, ' You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy', but I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:43-44
