The Power Of The Word Of God

Isaiah chapter 51 vs 7-8

...Listen to me, you people who know about right judgements. Continue to keep my law safely in your hearts. Then you will not be afraid of the fierce words of those who hate you. Then you will not allow their evil plots to frighten you; because insects will eat them, as if they were mere bits of wool. But my triumph (total success) will last for always. And my power to save will continue until the end of the ages...

Keep God's word in your heart and you will be able to stand against the people who hate you and spitefully use you, and those who try to do bad things against you. You will have peace and joy in your heart, and God is able to save you from every trial, suffering, and circumstance.

What should you do when a problem comes into your life? Seek comfort in the word of God and come into His presence with love, understanding, and a willing to live for Him and to be guided by the Holy Spirit in your heart. Surrender your thoughts, your worries, your pain and suffering, your doubts and cares to Him, and He will take what you have, what we all have to give which is love and trust, and He will make a way out of no way. He will defeat your enemy before you, give you the strength, the power and authority to go through what you are going through right now and be victorious in the end.

Ask the Lord, what do you want me to do in this crisis? How do you want your name to be glorified in the situation? If you sense that He wants you to just be still and at peace, then lean into His Grace and Mercy and let Him fight the battle for you.

If he doesn't give you an answer right away, that does not mean He did not hear you. He is working on the solution right now, but you can't see it because of the big problem, the big obstacle in the way. When you can't see the answer, that is when you must lean deeper into His word, go higher in your praise and worship, give Him everything that you have in your heart.

The answer may not be what you were anticipating, but know that the Lord knows what is best for you. He sees your heart and He knows what you need. We cannot see the big picture of our lives, but God already knows what He wants from your life and He has a plan. Our job is to keep focused on Him, to love Him, to be guided by Him in our hearts, and to trust Him, regardless of what our situation looks like in the natural.

This is real bravery: to believe in victory when the outcome is cloudy and uncertain, to love Him even when we are not sure what He truly wants from us or that we deserve His love, to care about what He wants from our lives and put Him first in every situation, to trust Him even when we have a strong desire to fix the problem ourself, to walk with peace, joy, and victory in our hearts even when the world does not see us, believe in us, or care about us.

Victory comes in knowing His son Jesus Christ and allowing Him first place in our hearts and minds and giving all of ourselves to Him.
