Have Faith!

There may be some truth in the phrase " time is elastic". Some days it feels as though time slows down and life just feels so "laggy". On the other hand, there are days when time just flies. It has been about six weeks since I have been in school and it feels as if it has only been a week. I have been so preoccupied with studies that I hardly have time to blog. I feel bad that I have been putting God aside. Life seems to revolve around studies.

When life is rough we tend to lose faith and start trusting on ourselves. We put God second and try our best to do things on our own. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about. Try to remember the times when you were very stressed about something. What did you do? Did you read your Bible more? Or did you put God aside?

Mathew 6: 25-34
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? [7] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

There are times in life when we feel that a task given by the Lord is too tough. It just seems impossible. When Jesus fed the five thousand, He told his disciples (Mathew 14:16) “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” The task was impossible for the disciples. But nothing is impossible for the Lord. And thus he said unto them (Mathew 14:18) “Bring them (five loaves and two fishes) here to me.” There are times in life when we just have to do our best and leave the rest to God. Bring your problems before Jesus and let him take care of it.

So I command you my friends HAVE FAITH!
