Everyone goes through difficulties and trials. There are times when we feel we are pressed to our limits and we're about to explode. I've been there many times and true to God's word, such testing develops character. Now, while my life is not problem-free, I can declare through my faith in Christ that I am not without a God who loves me, who will light a path for me through all the darkness I am going through.
The beautiful thing about having God on your side is that you can hold on to His promises. God said He will never leave us. And He said that His Holy Spirit is in us. That alone gives us every reason to stand tall and not be gripped by the demons of fear and despair.
In today's hard times, a lot of people are going through their equivalence of hell on this earth. Jobs are lost, businesses fail. It's important that we, as christians, tell people about God's message of hope and life. Money is not all there is to life. Sure, life is made easier with it, but not having enough of it should not drive you to depression.
We have a God who is bigger than our problems. But He cannot help us if we are so far away from Him. When He calls or when you stumble, instead of running away from God, run to Him. Perhaps you might not feel His presence immediately, but that doesn't mean that He doesn't have His eye on you. If a small sparrow is that important to God, remind yourself that you are more important than a small sparrow. God loved you and I enough to send Jesus Christ once on this earth to die for our sins so we can always have a way back to God.
In these hard times, we should allow God's light to shine through our lives so that we can be an encouragement and a blessing to those suffering the same difficulties that you and I are going through. Share the message, share the gospel, let people know that even in want there is rest if they are in Jesus. Peace and joy in our hearts, no matter where we are in our lives, are in fact more important than money.
