Your Life Is In God’s Hands | Inspirational & Motivational Video

what do you do when you're sitting across from the doctor and the report isn't good [Music] what do you do when you look at your bank statement you look at your bills and the numbers just don't add up what do you do when life hits you with the unexpected when life hits you hard and catches you on your blind side if there's one thing that you should know and expect it's that the reality of life can sometimes be earth-shattering and harsh and perhaps you may not be able to turn your situation around immediately but i pray that my words today will plant seeds of faith in your spirit don't be discouraged by what you see don't be discouraged by what you hear your life is in god's hands and that's something you should actually tell yourself every once in a while my life is in god's hands your health may not be where you want it to be but i encourage you to do all that you can and ask god to meet you halfway your dream may seem like it's no longer possible but i encourage you to continue pursuing god whether or not you become a doctor whether or not you become an attorney pilot don't remove god from his throne in your life all because you're disappointed god is bigger than that which comes against you and if the fight intensifies your own thoughts become negative they start telling you that this situation is permanent this result is permanent don't be discouraged even though it looks hopeless the word of god says joy comes in the morning to everything there is a season so this too shall pass don't be moved by what you see in the natural eye but rely on the word of god that you know the word that says god is good a stronghold in the day of trouble focus on that instead of what's disappointed you the word that says you are my hiding place and my shield it says i will look to the lord i will wait for the god of my salvation my god will hear me your life is in god's hands your future is in god's hands if life hits you and you fall wouldn't it be better to fall into the loving arms of jesus christ than anywhere else so don't be defined by a diagnosis don't be defined by the numbers in your bank account i've had to talk to myself and remind myself that i have a creator who has a plan and god's plan will still prevail god's will will still be done he has ordered my steps and saw i am not alone my beginning and my end is known by him my highs and your lows are known by him and i will walk by faith and not by sight believing that the lord has numbered my good days to exceed my bad days so get to the point where you are content and at peace to say lord my life is in your hands you have said be anxious for nothing you have said that you know the number of hairs on my head and so i surrender and yield to your will hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 says therefore we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us now i would like to pay particular attention to the phrase let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us now looking at various translations for this verse the bible here is telling us to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles it's telling us to strip off every weight that slows us down especially the sin that so easily trips us up and i believe that the bible is saying that we need to get rid of everything that slows us down especially the sin that just won't let go all in all you and i need to stop for a moment and look at our lives what weight are you carrying around what's the thing that has you bound and pressed down because in order for us to progress in this race of faith we need to get rid we need to lay aside we need to throw off and strip off anything and everything that is pulling us backwards saints this can be friends your friends the company you keep can be a weight and a hindrance in your life what you feed and dwell on can be a weight and a hindrance those novels those movies or tv shows that music saints all these things could really be pulling you back or how about money the pursuit of money and especially the love of money can be a hindrance to how far you will progress in this race of faith saints all these things can trip us up as we run toward jesus and this is an important message because a lot of people are unknowingly tripping themselves up in their walk with god because of what they entertain you're carrying around unnecessary weight when you're meant to be running for christ and running to christ on this topic i love the directness of matthew chapter 18 verse 8 to 9 because the bible says if your hand or foot causes you to sin cut it off and cast it from you it is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting fire and if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out and cast it from you it is better for you to enter into life with one eye rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire what jesus is talking about here is exactly what hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 is talking about when it says let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us the bottom line is if it causes you to sin cut it out if it causes you to drift away from god cut it out if it's tempting you and luring you into sin cut it out let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us [Music] [Music] you
