The Thought of the Day of 22/10/2016 : Leave God settle the problem - By Rick Warren

Good reading and good listening on C.J.Q.S. your Radio Gospel at this address : http://cjqsradio.blogspot.be/p/radio.html and do not forget the emission The Country at its best at 10 h in Quebec, 16 h in Europe or 17 h in Africa. Come numerous bless you the ears with the listening of this emission. Be blessed.

"You will not even have to fight ; be content with taking a position and keep you there. You will see the Lord grant you deliverance People of Judah and Jerusalem, do not be afraid and do not be frightened ; tomorrow , walk to meet them, and the Lord will be with you ! " 2 Chronicles 20:17



What God said to Jehoshaphat in this passage, and it reminds us today is : "This fight is not yours, it's mine You do not have to deliver it.."
"Do not be afraid" and "Do not be frightened."

In other words, the problem of God. Let him deal with it.

The fact is, if you are a child of God, your problems are his. And he knows much better solve and deliver your battles you will never know. Your role is to trust him and believe that he will succeed. If so many Christians are tired, weary and discouraged, perhaps it's because they think that everything rests on their shoulders.

The day when you will resign your position of General Manager of the Universe, you will find that the world continues to turn. You can rest in the faith, knowing that God is able to handle everything without your help.

This passage tells us twice : "Do not be afraid" and "Do not be frightened." When you are facing an apparently blocked situation, do not give in to fear. God he never lost a battle ? No. It is always the winner.

God said to Jehoshaphat : "Take a stand and stand there" or ". Stand firm" What does stand firm? It is having a mental attitude of quiet confidence.

You stand firm on two points :

- The character of God. He is faithful. It does not lead us to a point to let us down. He does not sit on a branch he then cut. Have faith in nature and character of God.

- The truth of his Word. God's Word is trustworthy. You can rely on the promises of the Bible.

A Prayer for Today

Lord, I do not want to wear this on my shoulders. I'd expect you and let you fix the problem. You have my full confidence. Thank you because you take care of me perfectly. Amen.

Rick Warren
