Finding Strength in Life’s Unforeseen Challenges

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

On my right was a bottle of water; on the left were my notepad and a book titled Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke that explores why our addiction to pleasure is causing us pain. Behind me was the bed, and in front of me were two medical professionals: an anesthesiologist and a general surgeon. They were trying to explain how the procedure was going to be and why I should trust that the best team was assembled for me. “This wasn’t part of my plan on 31st December,” I thought, “and here I am on 30th June, at the hospital, although not sick yet, having to go through this medical procedure.” By God’s grace, the procedure was successful after approximately 2 hours under general anesthesia. And now, I am faced with remodeling my plans for the second part of the year.

I didn’t expect this at the beginning of the year, and what I have learned is that our plans at any given time should make room for significant life events. Often, we don’t factor this in, so they pounce on us unprepared.

Life is full of surprises, and as I always say, tomorrow isn’t promised; therefore, we have to make the most of today. Your plans should consider that situations beyond your control are inevitable. You have got to pray that God will give you the strength and fortitude to carry on without being in despair. No one is spared from this, unfortunately. Also, we should pray for, encourage, reassure, and support someone who is dealing with a significant life event.

The assurance we have is that God has promised to be with us in spite of what happens. Through Jesus Christ, nothing shall be beyond what we can bear. God bless you! Amen

Step Out of Your Tent: Embrace Your Divine Future

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

As you journey through life, there are moments when you decide to take a pause. You take some rest, and then continue. However, this hibernation tends to be a redefining moment in a person’s life. What happens during this time is rather astonishing. That is, either one remains in this state much longer than expected, or he/she settles. In effect, we build mental tents and dwell in them. If you have built a tent, you must step out of it. If you have gotten stuck in one, you must also step outside. Only then can you count your stars and connect to your future, your destiny.

Often, we stay too long in the tent and miss the glorious future God has for us.

Your tent can be your past successes or your pains and rejections. It might be a comfort zone or a familiar way of life. It could also be a good enough relationship, etc.

God wants us to live a higher life, as He has placed unlimited resources within us. However, before you can see and move in that direction, like Abraham, we have to step out of our tent.

Today, can you identify a tent that is hindering your progress? Is it preventing you from seeing the promises of God concerning your life? Are you willing to step out? If yes, I pray that God enables you with the courage you need in Jesus’ name.

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. (Psalms 37:23, NLT)

You have testimonies to share. Beginning today, even now, believe that your steps are directed by God. Thus, pray, listen, and start. Whatever He shows you as you step out shall come to pass.

God bless you richly. 🙏

Love Always Wins: Embracing Understanding Over Judgment

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Before passing judgment on another person, take a moment to truly walk in their shoes and grasp the challenges and experiences they face. Only then can you truly appreciate their journey and offer the understanding they deserve.

Be kind and show some love when you meet people. You may be the hand God has sent their way to offer relief. Also, their strength may be your weakness, and their weakness, your strength. Therefore, instead of being critical, take a pause and be like Jesus when He met Zacchaeus. Love always wins.

“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.  For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.” (Matthew 7:1-2, NLT)
