Problems Come With Promises And Provision

by Hazel Straub

The bigger the problem and challenge in your life, the bigger the promise and provision for overcoming. Rather than drowning in negativity and self-pity, take another look with God’s vision. What first appears, as a disaster, can propel you into incredible change and promotion.

Joseph’s brothers betrayed him and sold him into slavery. Later falsely accused, given no chance to defend himself,  he remained in prison for years. As a slave and later a prisoner, he ruled over the household and then the prison. He learned the culture of Egypt and of Pharoah’s court, while in prison.  This was intense training for later ruling the nation. Joseph circumstances compelled him to rely on God and his timing. During the long difficult years, Joseph developed patience and forgave his brothers. The adverse circumstances were the catalyst for reconciliation with his brothers and saving of his family and nation. All the trials Joseph endured, prepared him to rule a country and save many from starvation and death due to the promise and provision of God.

Today, rejoice and thank God that he has incredible provision bigger than your current challenges. The difficulties you grow through, have provision that will propel you into your destiny. Lift up your eyes, to the Lord. What others meant for your evil, God turns it into good. Opposition means God’s provision and promotion are yours, if you don’t give up and allow God to have his way in your life.

Pray Rather Than Worry

iuby Hazel Straub

Worry and anxiety steal your strength and peace from you.You cannot rest, when you are chewing on your problems and filling your mind with all the “what if this happens?” Most of what you dread never happens, except in your mind.

Instead, make a habit of thanking God, for all the wonderful things he is doing in your life. Praise and worship him because of his faithfulness, love, mercy and compassion for you. Worship him for his forgiveness. Jesus walks with you and is your best friend, carrying your burdens so you can rest and get refreshed.

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. (Philippians 4:6-7 MSG)

Trust In The Lord

imagesby Hazel Straub

Yahweh is trustworthy and worthy of all of your trust.

Trust in the Lord and do what is right!
Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!
Then you will take delight in the Lord,
and he will answer your prayers.

Commit your future to the Lord!
Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.
He will vindicate you in broad daylight,
and publicly defend your just cause. (Psalm 37:3-6 NET)

Resurrection Life!

iurby Hazel Straub

It is amazing how God uses what seems certain defeat and turns it into victory! The enemy of our souls thought he had won a tremendous victory condemning Jesus to painful death. There were guards at the tomb and a huge rock covering the entrance. Surely, all this meant defeat. Instead it was the scene of the greatest miracle ever.

No force from hell, could keep Jesus in the tomb. God gives resurrection life and Jesus our Messiah came out of the tomb, victorious over death. Jesus’ victory  brings  redemption for all who are lost in their own pit of rebellion and sin, encased hopelessness for anything different. Everyone who accepts Jesus also experiences resurrection from certain death to new life in Christ. No longer defeated but gloriously transformed.

Christ’s resurrection brings new life to all who accept him and turn from their sinful ways. Those who walk with him show new life. Hallelujah! He is risen!

All honor to God, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; for it is his boundless mercy that has given us the privilege of being born again so that we are now members of God’s own family. Now we live in the hope of eternal life because Christ rose again from the dead.  And God has reserved for his children the priceless gift of eternal life; it is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.  And God, in his mighty power, will make sure that you get there safely to receive it because you are trusting him. It will be yours in that coming last day for all to see. (1 Peter 1:3-5 TLB)

Forgiveness

cross-shineby Hazel Straub

Do you wait for someone to apologize before forgiving them? They mocked, tortured and crucified Jesus without cause, while he gave his life for us. He prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34) His love brought forgiveness, while wounded and dying. What amazing love! He died for our sins and forgave, not holding on to his hurt and pain.  He did not treat us as we deserved but forgave and released those who mocked and tortured him. His forgiveness makes redemption our reality.

Jesus is our example. Who do you need to forgive and let go from your judgment?

Feed Faith Starve Fear

iuby Hazel Straub

What kind of food do you feed your soul? What do you rehearse and go over in your mind? Do you think about the negative or do you focus on Jesus and his love for you?

The thoughts we entertain either feed toxic thoughts that depresses or feeds faith. Become aware of what comes in through your sense of vision, taste, smell, touch and sound. You choose to take every thought captive through Christ.  We feed faith by rehearsing on the goodness of the Lord. Fear starves when we meditate on the love that Jesus shows us by paying the price for our sins so we enjoy abundant life. Feed faith and starve fear by renewing your mind.

Finally, brothers and sisters, fill your minds with beauty and truth. Meditate on whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is good, whatever is virtuous and praiseworthy. (Philippians 4:8 Voice)
