Look To The Lord And His Strength; Seek His Face Always
God Will Make A Way For You
1 CHRONICLES 16:11-16
“Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore! Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones! He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
”I Chronicles 16:11-16 NKJV

Here, the psalmist is telling us to keep focused on Christ; seek His strength in everything we do, in every trial and challenge we face.
Don’t look at the circumstance, keep focused on Christ, seek His face evermore, draw from His strength and your impossible situation becomes possible.
The devil will always attack one’s soul, his mind, will, and emotions with littlest whispers of failure and despair to bring fear and confusion that your decisions and responses are from the flesh. That is to walk in the flesh and shall not produce good fruits (GALATIANS 5:19-21).
Emotions were never meant as a tool of discernment or decision; therefore, listen to the Holy Spirit and walk in His leading (GALATIANS 5:16-26) and He will make a way for you.
The Holy Spirit came to help you (JOHN 14:15-18), to lead you in all truth (JOHN 16:13-15), and produce good fruits (GALATIANS 5:22-23).
But to walk in the Spirit is a choice, for God does not take away one’s free will.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.”
Galatians 5:16-17 NKJV
My beloved, it is encouraging to know that “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
I Corinthians 10:13 NKJV
Therefore, focus on Christ and His marvellous works and His covenant forever. God can not lie, therefore stand on His promises.
Remember His commands and obey Him, proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes (1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-26).
Only when we remember His commands, can we obey Him; only when we remember His marvellous works and promises can we stand on them.
I encourage you, whatever situation you are facing, however impossible it seems, even if it’s your own foolishness that got you there.; God loves you, He wants to help you, and He will help you; but you must cooperate with Him by walking in the Spirit.
Like Peter, whilst focused on Christ, you will be able to walk above the stormy waters you are facing, but if things get too much for you, Jesus will take your hand, lead to safety and calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
All you need do is seek His help, draw on His strength, and stand on His promises. God will make a way for you; your impossible is made possible through Christ who is your strength.(MATHEW 19:26; LUKE 18:27; PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
It may not work out quite how you hoped, but God knows best, He sees the whole picture not part and His resolve is long-term. Therefore, you can trust God, that He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28), and that includes your impossible situations that you are facing today.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
