We were watching TV in the living room. Before going to sleep, I went through my nighttime routine: locking all the doors, turning off the lights. As I lay down in bed, I heard a noise. There were big steps on the roof. And there was someone who was trying to open the door of our room. That’s weird, I thought. I stood up, turned on the lights and tried to take a look in the small hole on the wall. The noise stopped. But as I lay down again in bed, the lock on the door was loose and someone was trying to push it open. I was just watching the door. Scared and nervous, I opened the door slowly, but saw no one. Then I went outside, roamed around the house looking for the intruder, but still saw no one. I went back to my room. But before I got through the door, there were eyes staring in the dim light. He gave me a startled look as he uttered a low moan….Me-owwwwww!
Yeah, a cat can be scary to live with. But most of us have faced situations much more frightening. A young man I know is a fitness freak and watches everything she eats, yet he has a cancer. A mom raised her children to follow Jesus, yet one of those kids is wandering. A husband involved in marital journey that is extremely hard. He’s a good man, but his home is a place of desperation. A single mom who lose a job and wondering how she will pay the bills. A young woman who broke up the person she thought she’d marry.
When we start adding up all the negatives, we may feel overwhelmed by worry. We feel hopeless, defeated, and crushed. And some just want to end their lives. But wait, we’re not yet at the end of the road. There’s more to look forward to. What seemed to be a hopeless situation could be God’s way to bring us to our destiny. The God of all gods, the creator of heaven and earth is far greater than our problems. And He cares for each and every one of us. He never intended for us to fail, quit, or to give up. He has called us to be an overcomer! God wants us to prosper and be a success. Keep on hoping and believing. Learn to persevere despite life’s difficulties. We may not escape from trials and problems. But God is true to His promise that He will never leave us nor forsake. He will see us through. Trust Him your unknown future. Don’t worry for God will make all things beautiful in His time! =)
