Amen. One of my favorite verses in the bible. I believe that God will always make a way for me…you just have to completely trust Him.

As so much in Scripture is counterintuitive, one of the great revelations of faith for me was that we can ***worship our problems***. To secular thinking, that’s close to ridiculous, but it’s a point of fact that we can get so wrapped up in our problems, that we come to think that they’re insurmountable.

We have no problems that are bigger than God, even though that can be tough to swallow when everything seems to be falling apart.

In a real way, as believers, we have to develop a habit of looking past our problems. If God is eternal, and we’ll be with him in eternity, we have to focus on the promise from above, not on the problems that surround ourselves at the moment.

Tough habit to develop, but somewhere in there is the true definition of faith.

Excellent post and a great reminder about what really matters! We need not be anxious because our God is always faithful (even if we don’t always see it the way He does)!
