Music to meditate on: Patiently Waiting
– Shirley Caesar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1daXrHSd78)
As we strive to attain success in this life, we are
going reap rewards and we are going to improve or get better at what we do. As
we get better at what we do we will reach different levels. It’s like playing a
video game, as soon as you have completed all the obstacles in one level you
move to a new level until you have mastered all levels, and then the game is
completed. Note however that when you move to another level the level gets
harder but you the game usually provides you with better weapons to deal with
these levels. So too is this life.
Job in deep distress reminds us that “Man that is born of a woman is of few days
and full of trouble.” Therefore in this
life no matter what you try to be successful at you are going to reap
rewards but trouble will also come. As you move further on your journey it will
get even more difficult. This applies to all endeavours, your journey with God,
your marriage, raising your children, your finances and your job just to name a
few. As Joyce Myers would say “new level, new devil.”
Ladies do not allow any devil in hell to steal what God
has given to you. He has promoted you and He has been with you every step of
the way so even when the troubles come do not be discouraged. People will hate
you, they talk about you, the troubles in the marriage will seem more
difficult, the troubles with the children will become painstaking and getting
the money to do what you want will get even harder. However, this is the time
that you access the new weapons that have been provided in the game.
·
Pray
and fast more – at each new level, new levels of
principalities and powers are assigned by the devil to attack us, as it is in
the video game, the obstacles get harder. The Bible tells us we should not fight
our battles with weapons of the world but we should use spiritual weapons because
(2 Corinthians 10:3-4).
·
Access
more knowledge – Whatever your endeavour another level
will require new knowledge. You can’t use the same methods and strategies to
deal with the issues at this new level. As your children become older there
needs, attitudes and behavour will be different therefore, read more about this
new level, talk to others who have had the same experience or talk to an expert
to who can help you. The same applies for all endeavours.
·
Think
Positively - Always be positive about what you doing. Speak positively
to yourself. Reassure yourself by saying “this too shall pass” “it is well”, “I
Can”, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me”.
·
Never give up – Even when it seems like you
are on your last, never give up. If you have a dream, see it through. God gave
you your marriage, work on it. The school work at this level is harder than the
last level, study harder, you can do it.
Ladies there is nothing new under the sun, whatever you
are going through someone else went through it, and moreover, the Bible tells
us that God is faithful; He will not give you more than you can bear. (1
Corinthians 10:13). As such you can rest assured that God understands and that
he will never leave you in times of trouble, He give you what you need to
endure and take you to that other level.
Let’s Pray
Mighty God, we bless your name today, we thank you Lord
for taking us to another level in our journey in this life. Father we pray that
you will help us to endure the temptations and hardships that come with this
new level and we trust you knowing that you are faithful and that you will
never leave us or forsake us.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Have a
God Filled Day Ladies
