Rely on Him

Psalm 63:7-8
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Power Points

How many times in our lives have we said, "I just can't deal with this."?

Or we have said, "This is just too much for me to deal with."

God allows us to be in "I CAN'T TAKE IT!" situations for a purpose.

The purpose is to remind us that we are to rely on Him alone.

The difficulties that we face in life highlight our weaknesses.

God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

When in a pressing situation, just go ahead and give it to God, remember you can't take it!

Go FOWARD!

Ephesians 6:13
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Power Points

In Ephesians Paul encourages us to put on the whole armor of God in order to withstand evil.

If you notice there is no armor listed that covers our back.

Perhaps this is because we should also be moving FORWARD and not backward!

We should not be reliving and rehearsing our past hurts and disappointments.

By living in the past, we cripple our own selves for battle because those thoughts lead us to depression, anger, withdrawal, and bitterness.

We must pressed towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

Focus on Jesus and trust Him. He will give you perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3).
