Topic: You Are Not Helpless

One of the essential truths of life is that you need God. You need God every hour but you need God especially when you need guidance and when you need answers. We are not left alone in life without spiritual resources unless we do not want God to "bother" us. There are going to be times in your life when everything comes apart. There are going to be times in your life when bad circumstances immerse you and surround you. Difficult times in life can happen at any age…whether you are young or old, makes no difference. Some circumstances in life will make you feel helpless. There may be times in your life when you cannot handle things on your own. There may be times in your life when you think you cannot survive. However, the record of human history shows us people indeed do have the ability to survive the most horrible of circumstances. If you resolve to put your life in Christ's hands, and you fight to survive the situation you are in, you will get through that situation. No one ever said life was going to be easy. Life was not easy for Jesus, or the apostles, or anyone in the early church. Life is still not easy two thousand years later. Faith in God does not give us some kind of guarantee of earthly bliss. When we are in a situation where we think we are helpless to do anything, we have to realize we are being deceived. Because we are never helpless…for we have God who knows we need Him. Too many times you only think you are helpless. You are not helpless. It is not true that you are helpless. Satan will lie to you and make you think there is no resource to help you and that God is dead. However, God, and the will of God is accessible. The psalmist wrote about how the will of God teaches us. Psalms 143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good spirit lead me on level ground. (NIV)
