This is for everyone including me. The words of God are new everytime. Still dwelling in this powerful 4th verse of chapter 23 in the book of psalms, "eventhough I pass through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil for thou art with me"...it is good to know how we deal with issues.
God has always been with us and even if it seems we do not see Him in the time of our problems, we should not put blame on God for whatever happens. My question is how do we approach our problems? Do we look for someone to blame or we blame God?
You see, there are things that God does not expect from us to do whenever we find ourselves in problems. Please remember that valley is below normal ground level. So, it can be depitced as a problem. We all want to get out of it as quick as we can. God did not put us there,but somehow, we find ourselves in it. I am not ready to dig deep into how we find ourselves in problems, but it is always good to correct some things regarding how we approach problems whenever we find ourselves in it. Now, back to what I was saying, God does not want us to mummur to Him whenever we find ourselves in problem. God does not want us to blame Him. He does not want us to blame others. He does not want us to querry Him. He trully dislike confronting Him while in problem.
So, what does God want us to do? Crying?, rolling on the ground or what? God is a good listening father. A good shepered. He listens to our questioning, I would say complaints and clearifications. God wants us to develop effctive communication with Him so that as we speak to God in prayer and in songs, He can speak to us back. Hey, does God speaks? Oh yeah! He does. He speaks to us while we pray, study His words, sing to Him, listen to words of God in the Church, Christian fellowship, gospel messages among many others. He can send people to you to confirm what He has already told you, He can choose to speak to you in the dream by the means of what is relevant to your understanding. For an example, God can speak to a farmer through plants and seeds. He can speak to Doctor through medication e.t.c. God can choose to speak in any way He likes. So, there is not limitation to His ways. Please, let us learn to k"now His ways, not just His acts".So, when God is speaking to us, let us believe He is speaking to us.
All these come from communicating God first. God will always come to help, but our way to approach this problem make us prove to God whether we are due for promition or not.
Whenever we pass through the valley of shadow of death. We should remember that we are just passing through it. We are not staying there. So, we should invlove God who has been our shepered from the prior verses up to verse 4.
"He will come and save". So, we should not make God angry at us or prolong our breakthrough by blaming God or blaming others. We should accept our responsibility to get out of this valey through the help of Holy Spirit. Our time in the valley is very short. So, let us involve God in everything. God is our friend.
It is okay for us to scream, shout,or cry, but not to sin against God. As a parent, if your child shout on you for snacks money, you would not like it. So, let us respect God in our problems. Let us bring everything to Him in prayers and in thanskgiving.
Amen.
