This past Sunday the speaker at our community made this statement: “when you look at the problem, if you envision God, that problem is very, very small”. As the time went on, that statement sank in more and more. How true this is, although we have a hard time doing that. When we are faced with a problem our first reaction is try to resolve it, by ourselves. I am so to blame for this, no matter how many times this happens I always try to face them. When I do that, I look at the problem and its like the Great Wall of China. huge, unending. When I try to face theses by myself, I lose, they are so big and I feel as though I have no strength for them, but if I see God in the problem, it becomes so small, compared to the presence of God, “I can all things through him who strengthens me” – Phil 4:13. His Glory overcomes these minuscule problems. One thing a good friend of mine taught me, just picture yourself on your knees and as you extend your hands to God, the represent your troubles, as you “lay them down” at God’s feet, your hands then are free to be lifted to praise Him. What a beautiful vision that is. This will be a life’s journey as we learn to give ourselves away to Him and let Him take our problems, flaws away.
I have learned, when faced with a problem to envision God, in that way I will feel the presence, strength to overcome anything that is set before me.
