Do you feel your problems are only increasing, and nothing seems to be going well? 

Maybe you are sick and not receiving your healing. You are not getting a job, and it's frustrating. Or you have a job, and it is still frustrating. Maybe you are discouraged by the lack of love in the house of God. There are umpteen reasons today for us to feel bogged down and hopeless. 

What's the solution to all of the above and any problem looming large over our lives? A renewal of our vision of God. 

When King David had everyone against him, he encouraged himself in the Lord. How does one get encouraged? In the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is fullness of joy through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

He was in situations way too big for him to handle. Whether at Ziklag, Goliath, Saul, or his sin with Bathsheba, every one of these trials and temptations were greater than him. But his vision of God was always greater, that helped him seek repentance and become God's favorite. 

Prophet Elisha faced a mighty Syrian army. But he never feared because his vision of God was Almighty. He asked God to blind them, and the whole army was blinded. 

You are a King and Priest

Dear New Testament believer, you are both King and Priest. How is your vision of God today? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same as yesterday, today, and forever. He is an unchanging God. 

Call out to Jesus, and He will show you great and mighty things. In the middle of your trial He is present and available to heed your call. 

Get ready, and redeem the time. Our love is coming. Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
