"Problem, here is my God!"


I like this. "Problem, here is my God!" This is bold because you are basically saying, "I know who my God is, I know what He can and will do." Not to say that we can't present our problems to our Heavenly Father, you can. This to me expresses a little insight into one's faith. It reminds me of a little child who brags about his daddy to his friends. Remember when you were little and you would go back and forth with your friends saying, "My daddy is stronger than yours!", "My daddy is bigger than your daddy!","My daddy is smarter than your daddy!". Remember how you felt when you said those things, like if they actually saw your daddy they would tremble in fear because in your eyes your daddy was all of these things and more. You have total faith in your daddy that he would protect you, and he would solve all of your problems.

Well, in a way it's the same thing. When a problem arises in your life, those of us who are in Christ should feel the same way about our Daddy. When you are faced with a situation where you feel as though you are threatened, speak to the problem about your Daddy. Tell it how big your Daddy is, and how strong He is. Tell it how smart He is, because if He made this world that you and I live in then he can certainly resolve this problem.

I know for me personally, when a situations arises and I start to panic. I have to stop myself, and remember who my Daddy is. He is my Heavenly Father. He knows my problem before it ever pops up. He already knows the solution, and He knows that I will make it through with His guidance. If I take the time to step back from the situation and breathe for a second, I am reminded of these things. I have no reason to fear anything. My life is in the palm of His hand, He has my heart. Why would I not trust someone that I have given my heart to?

So the next time a situation arises in your life, remove yourself from it for one second and remember who your Daddy is. Remember how big He is, and small your problem is in comparison to Him.

For those of you who did not have a daddy growing up, please know that although you do not have an earthly father, you have a Heavenly Father who cares more about you then you will ever know. He is right there just call out to Him, because the bible says
A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,Is God in His holy habitation.
Psalm 68:5
