KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 11:21 KJV “Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.”
Martha ‘s statement at seeing Jesus was not to glorify, praise or thank Him. She rather complained to Him. She showed her complaint by saying, if you have been here my brother will not have died. This is what makes men lose touch with God. The instruction of scripture is to give thanks to the Lord in all situations .1 Thess5:18. Martha’s first word to the Lord should have been, thank you Jesus for coming. Dear one, never lose sight of the greatness of the Lord over any situation as well as, His goodness to us, no matter how bad or grave a condition may be. Give Him thanks in all situations
Men may get overwhelmed with their problems such that, they become so obsessed with it, and do not see any way out. Problems and difficulties are real, yet they are nothing before our mighty God. Solutions never come because, we are worried or afraid of the danger of a condition. Solutions always come from God. God brings solutions when we believe Him. God has said all things are possible to them that believe. Please consider what the Lord said, in Mark 9:23. He said “all things are possible to those who believe”. You become the solution to your problem, when you believe. Now who holds the key to your difficulty? It is you, so refuse to be overtaken by the seriousness of the problem and focus on God through your faith.
What is the way out? Take time to fill your heart with the greatness and power of Jesus. Isa 8:13 KJV” Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” To sanctify means to set apart. It means set the Lord apart by making Him far greater and mightier than anything. In actual fact, make Him who he is. This you can do by meditating on His great works in scripture.
CONFESSION
I sanctify the Lord God in my heart. I crown Him as Lord inspite of what I face. With faith in Him I overcome every difficulty. Glory be to God for always making me victorious in all situations.
