The bigger picture.

So have you ever had that feeling like nothing was going right? That every corner you turn there is another disaster waiting for you? We all have had those times. When your so close to the edge its really hard to see things clearly. When times get hard, its tough sometimes to focus on the Bigger Picture.

When times of trouble arise, we need to focus on God. Put it all in his hands! Sometimes Its hard to do that. I know how it is when you feel the world is against you. You just want to curl up in a ball and shut the world out. That is when the devil starts to attack. When you turn your back from God, and live as the world does, the devil uses that against you.

"For I know the plans i have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." 

                           -Jeremiah 29:11-

When it seems like my life is crumbling around me, I read this verse in my head. There is a reason why everything is happening. God has a greater plan for us. One only he can see. It took me a while to realize this. For years I lived in self pity. Instead of turning to God, i turned to myself. That was a place I should have never turned. In the end God showed me that he does have a plan for me. 

God is never going to give us more then we can handle. (1 Corinthians 10:13). When he does give us a lot to handle he always provides a way out. Hes not looking to break us down, that's the devils job. God is strengthening us. He knows us better then we know ourselves. He knows just how much we can take. When you go through a hard time, you come out stronger then before. When you feel you can no longer be strong enough, God will be then strength you need. He has a plan. He will prosper you not harm you. He will give you hope and a future. God is the bigger picture. 

So when you have those times of doubt. Refer to Jeremiah 29:11 and 1 Corinthians 10:13. Turn to God to give you strength. Through him nothing is to much. He is our strength and our refuge. Ever present in times of trouble .(psalm 46:1)
