YOU GOT PROBLEMS? THANK GOD!

"These are the nations the Lord left to test those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan. (He did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience.) Judges 3. 1-2 (NIV)

Problems? You got problems? Guess what? You gotta have problems. Why? Because sometimes that is the only way you learn something.
Do you know how to fix a flat tire? You do after you've had one.
Do you know how to overcome a serious illness? You do if you've had one.
Do you know how to survive a broken heart? Only if you've had one.

You got a big boulder in your life that is bogging you down? And it won't go away? Maybe...just maybe, God has put it there for a reason. A good reason. To make you stronger, wiser, more compassionate, more loving, more forgiving.

Surrender that boulder to Jesus today. Ask Him to let you view it through His eyes, and see it as a blessing, not a blunder; as a building, not a boulder, a plus, not a pain.

As the Apostle Paul discovered from God in his own struggles, ..."my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." --2 Corinthians 12.9 (NIV)

Surrender your weakness to God today. And see what strength He has for you. And...
ROGG-ON!
