What To Do When God Is Involved In Reshaping Your Life

By Ann Miller


This world is not so enjoyable. Everywhere you go to, you hear stories of hatred, murder, war, hunger, and depression. People are faced with different kinds of trials and temptations inflicted by humans and perpetrated by the devil. Yet, in all these, the maker of the universe knows how best to use all of them in reshaping your life. This is to say that if you are passing through any of these things right now, rejoice if you are on the Lord's side. Even though it is difficult, reading the scriptures and praying consistently can help you overcome.

You can employ different ways to read the Bible during this time. One of them is through the use of a devotional. If you use a devotional, you are eager to see the next day so that you can have a clearer picture of how a story or admonition ended. Going through the writer's commentaries will also help to build your faith in God the more.

Also, try to make it a routine. Choose a particular time of the day to read your Bible. As that time draws closer, you feel a kind of intimacy with God. Remember He is the only one who is capable of giving you life in a new dimension.

If going to the church early in the morning every day will not alter your activities, then you are encouraged to do so. Apart from the chance to read the Bible there, the priest's prayers for you will help to reshape you. You will start to see positive changes which will remain as long as you continue to be in God's presence.

Apps now make Bible reading easier and more convenient. Instead of searching from Genesis to Revelation for passages that deal on anger, for example, the apps can give it to you instantly. Others keep presenting verses you never knew existed in the Bible. You may also like those that present the verses at a particular time every day.

Sometimes, God brings the passages of the scriptures that are needful for each day's challenges in the devotionals. Failure to take down notes and go through them later in the day may make you forget what God was saying to you earlier and you may not be able to pass the test that you would have easily scaled through if you were more serious with your devotion. This is why you should get some notes with a Bible and devotional during your quiet time.

Emails containing messages, articles, and expositions on the word of God can get you closer to Him. Hence, it is necessary to subscribe for daily posts so long as you will make it a point of duty to check the emails every day. Some of the emails contain newsletters explaining how God recently helped someone overcome a big challenge such as what was recorded concerning Job in the Bible.

So what you are supposed to do in times of trial is never to give up. Trials are important to make you a better person so if you have prayed for an increase, you should be prepared to face this. But God is faithful, he has given you examples to follow in the scriptures. Following them and reading his admonition will help you to conquer
