We serve an awesome God! Let’s give Him some praise! My brothers and sisters, each and every one of us will go through some type of trial as long as we live. Some of these trials blindside us when we least expect and knock us to the ground. We are always responsible for our own actions and can not blame or be angry with anyone else. We made the choice. But praise God He is merciful and loving. But as He forgives us, we should also forgive. It’s hard but we can’t move forward until we do. Let’s be real and practical for a minute. The people that God has placed around you are there because He intended them to be there. Some are part of a support group that you didn’t even know you had. They are always encouraging and hopeful! They send you those encouraging emails, make short phone calls, generally, they seem to be there whenever you need them. I don’t think that they realize that they are helping you. Let them know how appreciative you are of them! They should not be taken for granted! When these trials occur we take our focus off of God and concentrate on the problem that we can’t handle. The problem becomes major when we take our eyes and prayers off God and attempt to take control. We have to face the fact that we just don’t have enough experience, power, and authority to handle it. (Actually, we do if we harness the power within) Greater is He within us ………. It takes faith to realize that God is in us. Aren’t we supposed to turn our burdens over to Him? Well, why is it so hard? I guess we don’t trust our God enough to take care of us. Oh, you object? I do agree with you that I’m wrong but our actions seem to support my statement. That’s why we deal with a merciful, forgiving, loving, and awesome God! He knows that we will make mistakes, He knows that we will fall, He also knows that He has great things prepared for us! We got to get up and keep moving forward. He does want us to trust Him, because He is always there for us! We just have to ask.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
