A Big Solution
As a child in elementary school, I thought using a microscope during science class was a major privilege. We would put something on a slide, add another slide on top of it, put it under the microscope, and voila! Once focused, we could see things that were before invisible to the naked eye. It was fascinating!
A microscope used in that context is a good thing, but trying to put yourself under a microscope is not a good thing. Negatively focussing on a problem does not bring improvement. It is not a solution. A solution to a problem always requires the right source.
There is a right source for every problem faced in life. Every problem you will ever meet, big or small, needs this source. That source is Jesus, and He is never too little or too much, nor is He too early or too late.
Jesus is the answer! His kingdom is powerful, and it brings with it righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit. You can have joy amid struggle and peace amid pain, no matter how big the problem that created it is. Big problems need a big God, and you have a big God who is on your side!
God is so big that when things seem to be going wrong around you, threatening your safety and well-being, you still have more than enough life and hope to encourage others generously. You just need to see your source. Your source is greater than all other sources! When the most skilled thief that has ever existed tries to come against you, always remember what Jesus said.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 7:38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
Difficult situations or trials of life cannot dam up the flow of that river you’ve received in Jesus. The only thing that can stop the flow of the river is unbelief. As a believer in Jesus, your possibilities and opportunities are endless.
Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Go in that life today and let the river of the Spirit of the Living God flow out of you to others. Look past your difficulties and see the horizon of hope set before you in the Spirit by a loving Father. Remember, there’s no problem too big for the God who loves and cares for you. He has ensured that you have what it takes to rise above your circumstances and seize the possibilities He says are yours for the taking.
Be encouraged in the Lord today and always, and know that He will never leave you, nor will He ever forsake you. He has given you His promised Holy Spirit to be with you and help you. The Holy Spirit administrates the grace of the Lord Jesus in your life and gives joy and peace to those who will, by faith, allow Him to do so.
Grace and peace to you today in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
