2 Corinthians 1:9 NLT In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.
Whenever we face a troubling situation, it’s important to rely on God and not ourselves.
Our natural tendency is to figure out how to get out of this terrible predicament solely. We may search the internet to see what “experts” have to say. We may ask someone who has gone through a similar situation. We may use our logic to figure it out. All of this sounds wise, but if it didn’t come from God, it’s self effort.
When an unfortunate event happens, first ignore your flesh because it’s going to be screaming, DO SOMETHING!!! Next, calmly ask God what to do. Listen to His voice and do exactly that. It may seem illogical, but do it anyway. After that, see what else He has to say. Do this until the situation changes. It may take some time to see a change, but don’t try to speed it up by doing something yourself. If we miss the mark by trying to fix it in our flesh, let His grace abound (Romans 5:20).
If the great Paul had to learn this lesson, we do too. Rely on God and not ourselves.
