Wednesday  1 August 2010 Everyday we wake up with the same problems we went to sleep with the night before…but there is a big difference which sometimes we fail to realise. God has woken us up the next morning, not only because He loves us but it is a reminder that we should have hope, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. God waking us up is stating that although we may not see this light we should have faith that the light is there and as a result put our full trust in Him. We know not the things that will come tomorrow but we still make plans! Lets thank God for our trials because they help us lean on Him and as a result draw us closer to him. Lets also thank God for His mercy and grace as He wakes us up in the morning even though we may lack in faith. James 1:12 says “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him”. God only gives us what we can handle, He knows us inside out so when trials come it means that we are ready whether we realise this or not. The book of Revelation says “To him that overcomes” more than five times. Lets persevere through our trials, stand the test with our undying faith and then get the crown of Glory promised! We can do it! So when we wake up lets get up with an attitude displaying trust. We’ve got to be ready for battle with the whole armour of God as stated in Ephesians 6. God’s capable hands await our trials….we’ve just got to hand them over!
