YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING A MIRACULOUS LIFE WHEN OTHERS WONDER OR SPECULATE ON HOW YOU MANAGE
By Chilufya Tayali
When month-end approaches, some of us are worried about our financial obligations. We start thinking and stressing how we will get by. Trust me, I know the feeling to an extent of wanting to commit suicide, but I want to tell you that, there is no need to weigh yourself down, look up to God.
If you read the Gospel of Matthew 8:19, “A scribe approached and said to Jesus, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.””
But, Jesus’ responded him saying, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head” (Matthew 8:20).
This response sound rather rude and ungrateful on the part of Jesus and I am sure, if it were in politics, the person would go away cursing that politician who answered like that.
However, what Jesus is really trying to say is, “Are you truly ready and willing to follow me no matter what?” In other words, Jesus wants to illustrate to the scribe that the choice to follow Him is a commitment to travel down a road that is risky only in the sense that following Jesus requires complete trust in Him.
It is like in marriage, when you commit yourself to a person, you can’t be sure what will come or what you will go through – it’s a risk. If you are not ready to take a risk with someone, don’t get married, because all that you may see in a person today, may not be there tomorrow.
We will not be told, ahead of time, where our Lord will lead and what He will ask of us. Rather, when we unreservedly choose to follow Jesus, we are putting our trust in Him as a person and are telling Him that we embrace His will no matter what it is. This level of trust is the key to what Jesus wants.
As long as you are a child of God and you believe in Him, you need not to kill yourself with stress, God will come in and help you somehow. TOTAL TRUST.
Some people worry about my welfare on my account, and they ask, “Tayali what do you do?” but let them worry, on my part, I am good, because I have total trust in God.
You know you are living a miraculous life when others wonder how you manage, because miracles are wondrous and mysterious.
Look around my life, there are so many amazing things and you speculate, because you have no faith that, God can do wonders for anyone including for yourself.
DON’T WORRY, TRUST IN GOD AND HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU, HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
