    “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of Godg and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you
    Our Heavenly Father knows what we need
    God bless you brother for the Godly content

    This video is my testimony in quite a few areas of my life over several years. From car shopping, job transfer / new job, and finding a place to live - once I stopped trying to figure things out, and surrendered to God's Will, He came through much better than I anticipated in each instance! 🙏

    This so resonates with me so much. Especially with the addiction part, that was pinpoint accurate. Somehow through the Holy Spirit of God, you always manage to bring another blessing from God to us. God bless you for your obedience Mark. ✝️❤️

    Very well-timed. I've very recently begun experiencing chronic pain and it's really weighing on me. Please pray that i can respond to this trial in a way that honors God, and that I can be healed of this pain. I will follow Him even if I am in pain for the rest of my life, but I admit I'm terrified of that fate, and I am struggling immensely with that fear. I'm trying to respond faithfully, but I'm trembling and weeping in response to God's no.

  • @MCharlerySmith
    @MCharlerySmith 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Good video, Mark. It's hard to stay faithful to God if you're young in faith and receive what feels like a harsh answer from Him but the key, I've learned, is to reflect then respond, not react. Everything God says has a deeper meaning as He is never cosmetic and superficial with His words and deeds.
    Point two is standing out to me, because it depicts the journey we go on as believers. When the children of Israel wandered the wilderness they did not have options, they only had God's provision: Manna from Heaven, water from the rock, clothing which was not outgrown nor worn out, a cloud by day to protect them from the sun and a pillar of fire by night to keep them warm. If they'd had options they'd have never been the witnesses and recipients of God's miraculous provision - that's a unique story to tell.
    Happy 4th, to the Ballenger Batch! It'll just be "Monday" here in the UK!

      Great points here Matthew! I totally agree! I like what you said about reflecting before responding rather than just reacting. It's not easy to do that, but it's so much better and saves us so much drama from putting our foots in our mouths! Happy 4th to you as well!

    This is so encouraging, thank you. I am at a loss - I keep falling. I am even so tired of myself. But I have resolved to stay faithful to Jesus. On my knees I told Him that I surrender to Him and Him alone. Even though my situation seems hopeless, I will continue to pray to God for a partner who is ready to lose the world and gain Christ!

    I'm sitting here in the park, doing my devotions because I'm so distraught over all the "no's" God keeps giving me. I keep feeling like, with all the horrible negative things that have happened in the past 10 years, that he would give me some sort of blessing and answer, but it never comes. This video really helped today. Especially point no. 1. I don't respond well to getting a "no" or a "wait" from God because I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. But God is faithful and He will get me through all of this pain, and I need to be patient and accepting of his will in my life. Thanks for this message. It was very helpful!!

      Sister, God has a lot more to say to us than No and wait. I totally feel your pain though and can relate to this hurt you feel. We literally have to start doing what He says and start feeling the feelings that He says. We just have to be obedient to move out of ingrained ways of thinking, acting, feeling. It's uncomfortable, but I see multiple blessings on the horizon if we obey the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Be with people in places where the water flows and the fire is hot, even when that also has moments of discomfort. 🌱🌹

      @@everydayisnew1831 Thank you so much for the encouragement. I have days where I'm doing great, and doing what he wants me to do and feel what he wants me to feel...but then Satan sees that and can't have me feeling good for even a day, and he throws his firey darts at me. I know how to combat them, but sometimes I'm just too dang tired to even bother. I know there are blessings coming because he's shown them to me in the past and can do it again. It's just, I'm in a really weird mindset lately from all those darts and I'm having a hard time deflecting them.

      @@everydayisnew1831 Funny you say that, because I've been leading a support group at church for women who have been betrayed by a spouse. 10 years ago, I would NEVER have imagined leading any group. I was super shy. But the Lord had other plans. I'm trying to jog, but it's not working well because I either have chronic fatigue or it's because my thyroid was removed a few years ago. I'm eating healthier because I'm pre-diabetes. And... you mentioned fasting. I learned a lot about it at a Bible study last year and did it for the 1st time and saw God move in an awesome way. So, it's so great to hear that all my trials aren't for nothing! You've been such an encouragement today - THANK you!

      The Book of Jonah is an example of this. Jonah was called by God to preach judgement to and warn the Ninevites but he ran away from that task. God didn't forsake Jonah, instead He chased after him. If you truly feel that conviction to step out in faith however the opportunity arose, you will have a burning desire inside to do so and it may come up again.
