WE CARRY ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS LEAVING OUR MIRACLES BEHIND
Our reflection will be rooted in Matthew chapter 6:25ff, do not worry about everything rather bring to God all worries and problems. The problem we carry is our own because we made it ours. We set our problems and compromise the standard, we establish and erect our yearly or monthly plans on a compromised and faulty foundation concurrently it boomerangs failure. The malresult of this noble task of ours flows from failed appreciation of God’s inevitably task in our daily activities. We handle the project strictly reserved for the God. Looking at a case study of a man that set a trap in a river and in his wittingly ignorance forgot to frequent the regular visit of expectation for a catch, how possible will smiles of joy ripple his two cheeks for a catch? His indifference will rather yield him chains of problems. St Paul in his letter to the Philippians 4vs6 says “do not worry about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” We set our goals with no painstaking daily homage to them. We set up new resolution…. Which the supreme being has already conceived prior to our humanly thoughts, the thorny paths to be trudged, the wavy sea to be paddled and the rough plain to be toggled along is never our responsibility but God’s, for if he fails to build or watch over the city in vain do the builders and the watchmen keep vigil respectively.
Our reserved duty rests on the door steps of rolling God into action by our daily “effort” our undented efforts leaves God the zero option of automatic and immediate response to our daily problems. A boy was on locomotion of a noisy wheel along the busy tarred trunk B road when a vehicle accidentally got his wheel into a figure 8 shaped wheel ready to be beaten to another metal material. The little innocent boy gradually converting the synthetic black lane to little delta with his tears slowly bent down and picked up his ‘beyond repair wheel’ to be beaten to the earlier shape. His sincere effort was noticed by the mother who was compelled by pity to provide a brand new bicycle for the little boy. The little interlude relational story remains a perfect correlation to our relationship with our God. The “effort” of the boy remains the motivational factor for the new gift of a bicycle. Rejection to repair the wheel at its point of faked damage drives the boy along the lane of compromising the standard but his best was blessed with a blessing.
Our best (effort) in everyday of life struggle ignites the God’s inevitable grace and intervention in our daily problems.
We abandon our situation hitting our legs against stone as we run from pillar to post while the year tick tacks and sticks our buttocks firmily dinning with failure on same table. Identify your life with that of God and your standard must never be compromised, your goals will be in line with that of God’s will. You go to church with dirty cloths claiming you have no money to wash and update your personal cleanliness, NO!... this is a faked problem but you allow it rest between the hind and fore head as a woman who has her basket full of goods trudging down to the four day market routine. Why not accept God’s unfailing grace in your life and look for him, he needs the conviction that what people label problem in your life is simply a blessing in disguise then his miracle will flow in your daily life activities. A man who sold all he had to purchase the land imbued with pearls of gold lost it to a humble patient fellow because of his expired patience, he compromised the standard and was left with the alternative of selling off the precious blessed land of gold mine.
Children of God set up the ultimate standard today and live up to the expectation, as his blessings locate you in every works of your life. Speak to your problems with the WORD OF GOD. He promised to be your shepherd and to provide your needs (psalm23vs1) why the tears because the faked absence of empty table….
Finally, pray and never loose heart (luke18vs1),antidote to our daily our problems…
Remain blest…. Your humble servant in Christ…..
