Trusting God When you Dont Understand

This is from a sermon by Joyce Meyer that I found on facebook. I have put her words in my own context, some may be copied from her own but very little. I chose to post this sermon because its very moving and powerful. It helps you answer your questions in life when times get hard. I figured some people may need this right now with how tough things are in the job market, housing, and the problems going on over in Syria. Check below on my page to find different sermon's from Joyce Meyers.

If you want to follow along with Joyce she reads from the Amplified bible, sometimes I take the verses from my bible with is Women of Faith Devotional Bible (pink edition).

Most recently I have been in a motor vehicle accident. Things did not turn out good so I turn to go and asked why. How could a bad thing happen to such a good person. So I turned to looking on youtube for sermons on help. When I came across this one it touched me spiritually inside in a way that I haven't been touched since I was a teenager. I thought I would share this in my insight with some of Joyce words to you my friends and strangers who has been drawn to this page by luck or fate.


Exodus 3:13           Moses says to God
God, Behold when I come to the Israelites and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is his name? What shall I say to them?

Exodus 3:14
And God said to Moses, I am who I am, and what I am, and I will be what I will be; and he said, You shall say this to the Israelites I am has sent me to you! 

We must remember God is the almighty, there is one God we answer to. There has only been one God the same god through the years. He has answered our prayers, listen to him when he calls. Do not mistake him for something else.

Romans 9:20
But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it? "Why have you made me like this?"

We ask why do we have the abnormalities that we do. Go why have you given me big feet or a big waste? God why do I not have the personality to always be chipper like so many that I know. Why do I not have the metabolism like my husband? God hs created us in our mothers womb to be the way that we are. There is nothing about each and everyone of us that is a accident. He has created us separately to serve a purpose.  God want us to be proud of ourselves and who we are cause he loves us the way each and everyone of us are made. Just because we are not like someone else does not mean there is anything wrong with us. I was once told something by my friend Holly not to whine about our defects like mine would be obesity. She told me either lose it or flaunt it. So I flaunt it, I'm  not ashamed to be me. She didn't say to this to be mean but for me to it was like God was giving me a sign. Like he was talking to me through her. Always remember God made us for certain jobs and one day he will come to and show you your job. But just remember he will come when he see the time is right.

Joyce has also quoted in her Sermon
Romans 9:20  A
But who are you, mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?

Romans 9:21   KJV
Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor.
Amplified Version
Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignorable and dishonorable use?

We have to remember God has chosen our path and what happens ,since the beginning of time. It is up to us to follow the path and not ask why. You have to prove your faith to god, show him that you believe by just handing him your situation and let him take control. Don't ask why because it shows you question his love for you.

Unfortunately I'm going to take a break but I will post the second half today. This will be a four part post, I will post two today , one tomorrow and one the next day.


Prayer
God please  forgive us to asking why in time of despair, I am weak and sometimes fall to sin. Help me to be strong and let you take control. I pray that I become strong and no longer question your plans for me, I know that you love me and have planned great things for me. I understand sometimes faith has to be tested but I will come out, strong, wise and happy. Amen

Be Mindful

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

It is God's will that I walk in his power, have soundness of my mind. HIs will is for me to grow and be like Jesus. Fear will stop me from doing this. At the root of all pride, disobedience and religious mindsets is a spirit of fear (don't feel like your better than others, don't go against others will) Love others (family, friends, neighbors and strangers) more than you love thy self. Do not judge others is it fear, do not hold hate in your heart or head. Lay down your life for your friends and walk in power. Do not ask for praise for it is prideful. Do it for love and yourself. Surrender your mind for the Lord to heal.

Never judge others than your self using your religion and never be prideful.
