If we acknowledge our need for God, he will help us.
Ben Carson, M.D.
As human, we tend to attribute our success in life to our family background, education, exposure, knowledge, experience, smartness and skills. This may be true, but the fact still remain that there are thousands out there with better education , exposure, knowledge, skill and influence who could not even achieved half of what we have achieved so far.
Our failure to see God as the architect of all that we have accomplished so far could be because of the kind of environment we live in. An environment where evil men thrive. An environment where people that openly declare that there’s no God are the one calling the shot. An environment where mediocrity is rewarded over merit. An environment where evil men seem to live longer. These experiences should not deter you from depending absolutely on God and from attributing your success to Him.
The things we see and experience in the society a time often make us wanted to question God’s faithfulness. We might have seen and know a woman who has committed abortion severally before marriage, who became pregnant on her wedding night. While those who kept themselves pure before marriage had to wait for several months or even years before becoming pregnant. Our God is unquestionable.
To experience the best of God, never see yourself as deserving more of His goodness, mercy and blessings compared to those you considered sinners and undeserving. Our God does as he pleases.
All it takes for you to enjoy the very best of God is for you to acknowledge the fact that you need Him. No matter what you may be passing through presently, God is able to see you through. All you need do is call upon Him. This you must do with all sincerity.
What is it that you’re passing through now? It’s not beyond God. You might have even gone to seek help where help could not be found in the past. All God requires from you is just for you to look up to Him in your present predicament. Just put in your best possible effort as human and then wait patiently for God’s divine intervention.
This should be your attitude in all the difficult situations that is confronting your career, business, family and marriage. Are you a Surgeon handling a dicey surgical operation? Involve God. Are you a parent with impossible children? Call on God for help. Are you a businessman in confusion? Ask God for wisdom.
If you can involve God in all your impossible situations, He’ll surely help you out.
