I can’t do it. You can’t do it. The moment you see this statement, we all recall something that we failed to accomplish in our lives. We are capable of doing nothing in our lives, especially when we face hard situations.
Yes, we can’t do it alone. We need someone to be on our side to comfort us and to get things done.
Whenever we face hard situations in our lives, we tend to determine the situation based on our capabilities and the possibility of resolving it. But, being a believer, we always have to remember the Lordship that exists over our lives and over all creation as well. (Psalm 100:3) “Know that the Lord is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture”.
We are the people who believe in scientific laws that have been documented.
Example: Newton’s first law of motion
An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.
We believe that in the creation and physical world, an external force is required to complete the work. But we
don’t even think that we need someone to complete our work for us or to help us complete our work.
We call ourselves believers, but we accept the situations in our lives based on our capabilities and simply ignore the dependency on God. Nowadays
, the major issue among believers is looking for logical validation to even keep faith in God. This happens when we see the situation with a mere human heart and mind. While looking for logical reasoning, we tend to forget the God who manifested his love through Christ.
Yes, faith is rational. We are not worshipping God with psychological satisfaction or delusion. The God of Israel is the true and only God, and Jesus Christ is the only saviour from our sins. However, pursuing logic rather than belief is futile. Faith matters in the sight of God.
Let’s look into the lives of faith warriors from the Bible who considered themselves incapable but did great things according to the will of God.
Noah wouldn’t be able to build an ark.
Abraham wouldn’t be able to sacrifice his son.
Moses wouldn’t be able to lead the Israelites.
Gideon wouldn’t be able to fight for the people of God. Job wouldn’t be able to withstand the chaos.
But how did they do that…?
With a human heart and conviction, that wouldn’t be possible.
Whenever God came to reveal himself to them and manifest himself through his creation (Romans 1:19-20), “since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.” For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. ” They believed and accepted the existence of God. The moment they submitted their lives to his revelation, then he convicted them through his spirit, who was hovering on the earth right from the point of creation (Genesis 1:2). “Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
Yes, even Abraham, Moses, and others won’t be able to carry out the will of God without the help of God. Through his spirit, God gave a conviction. I am not degrading the personality and heart of the faith warriors towards God, but we have to learn the aspect that regards them upright in the sight of God. Firstly, they believed in God when he revealed himself and submitted to him. So, God gave his spirit to do his will.
Let’s check our spiritual lives.
We’re called believers, yet we face difficulty in handling situations in our lives. The only reasons for this are that you are not having a personal revelation from God and not submitting to him. Likewise,
in the days of our faith warriors, God reveals himself with an open word and through men of God.
So, if we believe and submit ourselves to God, then he’ll send his helper to us (John 14:26). “the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” to get his work done on earth.
Yes, you can’t do it and I can’t do it alone,
but we can do everything with the help of the Holy Spirit (John 16:7-8). And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Apostle
Paul clearly says that (Philippians 4 :13) “I can do all this through him who gives me strength”.
Now the question is…
Are you striving alone?”
Or Seeking help from The Helper?
