Somebody's Knocking At Your Door...

My cousin and I were watching a clip on youtube where one of the Clark sisters was giving a testimony about a health scare that litterally left her clingy to life. At the end she said that she realized then that "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." I thought that was deep. What she meant by that is sometimes things can get so bad for us that we start feeling depressed, alone and unhappy. We start feeling like giving up because, as far as we can see, no good is going to come out of the situation. But these times are some of the most critical spiritual times in our lives, they are so much more important than what we can see at the time because we are blinded by all the things that WE see that WE cant do. These are the times when we need to realize that some things we just have to give to God and let him work out the details. When we are faced with situations where we feel like our backs are against the wall and there is no where to turn to, no where to run and no one to have our backs we need to realize that its just God knocking on our doors asking us when we are going to stop trying to play superman/woman and let him in. Extreme situations are opportunities for God to come in and take over. Many times we block ourselves from blessings because we are too stubborn to give in; God is trying to work things out in our favor but he cant because we keep putting our hands in the way. We let our stubborness, pride and attitudes get in the way of God trying to bless us. It is at these times when we just need to fall back, take our hands off the situation and just let God come in and fix it. We just need to throw our hands up and praise him and thank him in advance for working out situations, even if we cannot see a way out. The more we praise him, submit to his will and give him complete control over our lives, the more he is able to bless us in ways that we may have never imagined. Thats the kind of God we serve! So the next time you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, throw your hands up and just thank him for what he is about to step in and do for you. Praise him in advance for the miracles and blessings that he is getting ready to throw your way; open the door and let him come in and work it out for you. That is how you set yourself up to be blessed.
