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.

There are several ways to read the scriptures during this period. The first one you may want to consider is reading with a devotional. Using a devotional makes you anticipate opening the Bible every morning, evening or any time you have decided to have your devotion. The notes they contain also gives a good interpretation of the passage so that you can be really blessed for the day.

If possible, make it a habit. That means having a specific time, day and place to have a quiet time. This will create a more intimate relationship between you and God and you will have the grace to face the challenges until the appointed time when they will be rolled away.

If you attend a church that organizes early morning prayers or there is one around you doing that, participating in it before going to work or school will help to reshape your life to a large extent. The prayers made by the pastor conducting the service can go a long way in helping you out of any predicaments. You will also be more assured of God's presence with you throughout the day.

It is now easier to read the scriptures with the apps created for this. Some bring up Bible passages on your phone or laptop so that you can read without doing any search. Some others work by sending you verses from the Bible every day at a particular time. Again, you can find some that have a selection of topics with passages of the Bible that can help to solve challenges.

When you want to read the Bible, make sure you start and end with prayers. When reading it, take down notes so that you can get back to the lessons during the day. Sometimes, people unknowingly go through the scriptures that help them to overcome some particular challenges that come their way during the day.

Instead of filling the email message box with irrelevant things, you should rather subscribe to daily emails for God's word. They can come in the form of exposition, trending issues, news, and more. It supplements what one must have read in the morning and increases the chances of being reshaped as you get inspired by the real-life stories of others.

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
