No Time for Self Pity

Many of us have experienced life changing challenges in 2009. Challenges that we wish we didn’t have to face, challenges that made you want to run and hide, even challenges that may have put doubt in your heart about God. Some of us are at the breaking point where we can’t take anymore.

Last night I was thinking about some of the challenges Tracy and I have and are facing and I just wanted to breakdown but God told me that this is not the time for self-pity. God is saying to all of us that this is not the time to break down but rather the time of breakthrough. He is saying that He knows what you are going through and He is right there with you in the midst of it. He is saying some of the challenges you are facing were allowed by Him to strengthen you and mature you as His child. Once you get to that point of break down that is when breakthrough occurs.

If we hinder ourselves through self-pity we delay the breakthrough from happening. Each challenge that we face is used for good. It’s time to look at yourself in the mirror, look at that challenge head on and God will direct you as to what it means and why it’s there. 2010 is a year of order and restoration.

Nahum 1:7 (KJV)
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in Him.

Through the midst of your challenge your stronghold is and always will be God.

Remember: The breaking point is the break through point.

I pray that this has been a blessing on your lives.
