WHEN THINGS FALL APART

Cyclone

In this world we are faced by many situations that can result in severe stress, anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, grief, hopelessness and many other tumultuous emotions. These feelings can overwhelm us, ruin our health, and diminish our ability to move forward.

But when we trust God and seek His guidance, He helps us make our way courageously through uncharted waters. He gives us his peace; a calmness and joy that knows no understanding, so that we develop a better sense of control over our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to make good decisions and move forward.

“The cyclone derives its powers from a calm centre. So does a person.” Norman Vincent Peale.

The Word of the Lord bids us to be strong and courageous as we face the storms. “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

In which storm will you trust the Lord for deliverance? Seek to have a calm centre and you will acquire the power you seek.

Humble Work

working hard picking tea

A woman picking tea

"And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor.” (Ruth 2:2 N.I.V)

After losing their husbands, Ruth and her mother in law Naomi did not have any means of support. Ruth decided that she could do any humble work that would give them sustenance, so she went out into the barley fields to collect any leftover grain after the harvesters.

Do you find doing some jobs too menial for you despite your hard times? Instead of sitting around waiting for good fortune to happen, take the initiative and work at whatever you can get without giving in to false pride. It could be the work God wants you to do or it could present a door to new opportunities. Ruth went out into the fields and God provided for her and her mother in law in a mighty way through their kinsman-redeemer: Boaz. Work faithfully and trust in the Lord.
