The Jesus Box
| Life can often throw far more than we as mere humans can begin to handle. The good news is, God never meant for you to handle even a portion of what we struggle with alone. We in fact should probably take our hands off the problem and just give it to God. "For the battle is not yours, but God's." 2 Chronicles 20:15 You've no doubt heard the phrase, "Just put it in Gods hands". Sounds easy enough doesn't it? Our problem is we tend to take the problem back when we get impatient and believe that God isn't moving quickly enough or doing enough. We need to give our concerns to God and leave them in his more than capable hands. Who are we to think that we can begin to do anything better than he? Put it in the Jesus Box! Results Guaranteed! "Be Anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God" Philippians 4:6 "prayer and supplication" Websters definition - to make a humble and earnest request. We are instructed to make our needs, concerns and problems known to God. "with thanksgiving" We should begin instantly thanking God for taking care of our concerns and needs. I thank God that though I do not know his time table or perhaps how he is going to go about working on my particular problem, I do know that he will do what is best and his solution is always ALWAYS far beyond what I could have imagined!! Memo From God:
Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do - The Jesus Box) box. It will be addressed in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it or remove it. Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of your problem. If it is a situation that you think you are capable of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure that it is the proper resolution. Because I do not sleep nor do I slumber, there is no need for you to lose any sleep. Rest my child. If you need to contact me, I am only a prayer away. -- Author Unknown -- So......... Put it in the Jesus Box and close the lid tight!! Let us all begin praying with you for the answers to your prayers! |
