CREATOR IN THE CHAOS


We all go through hard and tough times in our lives. In these situations we often tend to ask “why me?”or “is this really happening to me?”or “I wish this was just a dream ”, but the truth is you can’t change the past or its consequences but what you can do change is your next action. Many at times we wonder and even question God why He allows such situations in our lives. It  is true that it is hard to go through such situations. You  can’t always ask the question ‘why’ to God cause you just won’t get any answer. The truth is, it’s not about what we go through but about what we become through the chaos and struggle. Let me explain what I truly mean by saying this. Let me take the example of moses and the Israelites coming out of Egypt.

Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt. Hence God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea; and the sons of Israel went up in martial array from the land of Egypt.                                Exodus 13:17-18

If we see in this passage, it talks about how God leads the people not through the land of the philistines but through the wilderness. Maybe similarly, GOD is allowing the chaotic and hard times in your life so He can just make you much stronger than what you are now. The people of Israel, in the later part of their journey wage many wars and win them and only then they go to the promised land that God gives them. I believe if they had gone out of Egypt through the land of the philistines, they would have just died there. The ways that God is allowing you to endure is for the greater good and for showing a different aspect of God. It will just make you stronger.

There is also another truth to situations like these, say someone is coming to you and asking you for advice about a very similar situation that they are going through. If you have not gone through the situation then I don’t think there is anyway by which you can lead them in the right way of truth. Your path through the wilderness will not only build you, but maybe build someone else’s life in the future.

THE CALLING - How to?

Welcome to this blog as I continue the series 'THE CALLING'. In the previous blog, we saw in-depth about what the calling of God is. In this blog, we are going to see how to walk in the calling of god over our lives. Now that we have understood ‘what’ the calling of God is and some of the important things about the calling of God over our lives, let us go to Matthew 7:21, where we saw Jesus saying that doing the will of God is the only way to enter heaven and If we read further, the scriptures say like this: On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:22-23 Here we see Jesus saying what He meant when He said ‘WILL OF GOD’ in the previous verse. In other terms, Jesus is saying how we are to stand and pursue the calling of God over our lives. In verse 22, Jesus says that just beca...

THE CALLING - Know your enemy

As we are in the journey of learning about ‘the calling’ God has kept over our lives, we need to know about our enemy. The enemy is the one who is always waiting to stop us from doing the will of God in our lives. Therefore, we must have a complete understanding of our enemy and his strategies. This will help us to overcome the oppositions and trials on our way that we may stand in our calling till the end.   Under this topic, I am going to talk, in a practical manner, on what are the things that the devil will bring on our way in the walk with God, how he does that and how to overcome it all. Firstly, let’s look into the solution before we go to the problem, but the truth is that you already know the answer to the problem. Well, if you are wondering what the solution is? The answer is- relationship with God. I have already explained in detail about the various aspects of this relationship we are to have with God. Let me remind you of the 3 things that happen in the relationship w...

He was called to be king, which is a huge responsibility. Let’s look into these 5 aspects of David’s life and see how they had an influence in his life in fulfilling the calling God had kept over his life. 1.LIKES       David liked to sing to the lord The book of psalms is evidence to the fact that David loved to sing praises to God.       He liked to hang out with friends The bible records various instances when David and Jonathon meet together.  2.DISLIKES       Blaspheming against God David didn’t like when someone blasphemed against the living God. he just hated it and that is the reason why he went against Goliath in battle.        Disrespecting the Lord’s anointed The Bible repeatedly records David saying to people around him that no one is to kill or ...
