"Once we understand this simple truth, then we start to ask ourselves one of life's most important questions when a problem arises, do we choose to turn to God when a problem first arises, or do we try and handle it ourselves our way or do we even turn to others instead. And then only turn to God as our last line of defense when we can no longer handle the problem by ourselves.

It's not a matter of "if" we are going to turn to God in times of trouble, the question is a matter of "when." Do we turn to Him daily before we have these problems or do we wait until everything hits the fan and everything is totally out of control.

"We cannot have the faith to walk on water until we get our feet wet first by walking through our adversities"

Being a military brat, I grew up on military bases all the way through high school. I have heard many true stories of men who fought in the Vietnam War; how they would be in a fox hole with someone who claimed that they did not believe in God. And later on, they would come under enemy attack where both of them thought that they were going to die. The one's who already believed in God would silently pray for God's protection while the one's who claimed they did not believe in God were the one's who actually were screaming "God save me!"

God answered each one of these men's heartfelt prayers, those who prayed and those who cried out His Name as a last resort.

Their lives were saved for a purpose? Their lives were being changed and shaped to glorify God to others that day?

"We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves; but that was good, for then we put everything into the hands of God, who alone could save us." 2 Corinthians 1:19

God says that every knee shall bow to Him, and just like those soldiers in the fox holes in Vietnam Nam who claimed that they did not believe in Him when they thought everything was fine were screaming to God to save them during what they felt were their last moments of their lives.

And just like those men who thought it was their last day on earth.

What do you think we will all do before God on judgement day?

Will we be truly confident and calm knowing our final destination is heaven and not hell?

God's plan of Salvation

God believes in you
