The greatest struggles in life are the struggles we have with God. often, we yield to temptation and feel anger because we do not understand the ways of God. We may look at the wicked prospering and question why. We see ourselves as faithful and wonder why God seems silent.
In Psalms 37:1 Do not fret because of evil doers, nor envious of the workers of iniquity. for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. This passage brings with an exhortation to not fret or become discouraged and is sprinkled with commands against becoming angry. Jesus answer is how we can do this is found in verse 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
We receive Christ by humbling ourselves at the cross without any sense of entitlement or selfish ambition. Colossians 2:6 as you therefore received Christ Jesus The Lord, so walk in Him.
Once we receive Christ, we are to walk in that same humble manner. We are to have no sense of entitlement , no demand for our way, no ego that must be stroked . his humble, cross centered life is reflected in the Psalmist commands: " Trust in The Lord. as you trust in Him with your soul at salvation, trust Him with daily living. " Delight" or enjoy The Lord. "Commit your way" Have God's ambition, not your own. Desire His will. Then " rest in The Lord" When we want what He wants , it follows that we can rest from our stress".... Trusting Him with the outcome.
For it is with God all things are possible
Have a very Blessed TRUSTFUL in God day, peace ,comfort and healing, joy
Our greatest struggles are with God
