Positive Thinking - (Part 2)

So when we are confronted with a difficult situation, we must learn how to look at the situation in a positive way. Our flesh wants us to go into anxiety, frustration, anger and try to find a way to escape what is confronting us to keep from having to deal with it.

The Word of God tells us to cast our cares upon him. In other words, we must learn how to take our problems to him, leave it there and rest in him knowing he will handle it for us. God is not a God that he would lie, he will never leave us or forsake us.

When we put our trust in man this is when we become disappointed, upset, hurt and distant to those who say they will help us. This is why God tells us put no confidence in man, it is as a bad toothache. (He can hurt you so deep that the pain will not go away). It will take God to heal your broken spirit. Turn all of your energy towards him and seek him for peace in your heart.

It does not matter what it is that you are facing today. If you look to God, pray for direction and read his word; he will give you instructions, peace and comfort in the midst of the storm. He may not remove the problem because he wants you to learn to trust him and learn how to wait on him to perform his word in you life. But I assure you, if you are sincere and faithful to him without wavering and doubting he will deliver you. God is faithful and just to his children. We must learn how to walk in his word and speak his word which will change the environment of our thinking so we can stand strong in the storm knowing he will come to our rescue.

Just as God walked in the midst of the fiery furnace with the Hebrew boys, he will do the same for you. Remember he did not deliver them out of it they had to go into the fire but he did dwell with them in the fire and walked with them in the midst of it. He wants to prove himself to you in the same manner. God wants to prove himself to us so we will experience the true and living God in a way we would never imagine. Seeing the mercies of God is a traumatic situation is so amazing because you will never know his power until you experience it.
