Change the Order



My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9












Recommended Reading
Psalm 124

"Rather
than saying ‘God, here is my problem,' we should put the problem into
perspective by saying ‘Problem, here is my God!'" Whoever wrote those
words must have understood that there is no problem God cannot handle
in our lives.


When we make our
problems the object of our lives, it is easy to become discouraged and
forget that we have a God who will sustain us during our trials.
However, when we change our perspective and the order of the words, we
see that God becomes the object and the focus of our lives. It seems
like such a small detail wouldn't matter much, but when you visualize
introducing your problems to Almighty God, suddenly they seem smaller,
and you realize just how triumphant you can be with His help.


Often, it is
only a matter of changing our perspective in order to overcome
adversity. No matter what troubles you are facing, always remember our
God is big enough, strong enough, and powerful enough to take care of
them. He is the answer to all of life's problems, and He is enough.



He comes
to us in the brokenness of our health, in the shipwreck of our family
lives, in the loss of all possible peace of mind, even in the very
thick of our sins. He saves us in our disasters, not from them.
