This is the question that lots of people asked themselves thinking that the condition they are is the worst of all but not knowing that it can be converted to a more acceptable Endeavour. Look with an eagle eyes the future and think of what your dream of and think on the progressive idea that will bring the dream to pass instead of saying “Why me?”.
The word of God says in 1Corinthians 10:13; “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (RSV).
Looking at this scripture with an eagle eye you will notice that this scripture shares itself into four parts namely;
1. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
2. God is faithful
3. will not let you be tempted beyond your strength
4. with the temptation will also provide the way of escape
5. that you may be able to endure it
You mat have said your problems are the worst or biggest one on earth just because some other person(s) have not open their mouth to tell you what they are passing through. Looking at the scripture, we have to consider them one after the other.
#1. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
This is to say that, whatever you are passing through today some one else have passed it before, so it is not new or strange on earth, such is common to people every where, it is just because you have not seen any having same problems in your environment. But if you take time to listen very carefully, you hear some one from among your consolers or comforters saying similar problem that have happen to some one before yours, that is to say it is not strange. Eccl 1:9 said, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the Sun.” if you talk about hunger, people have suffered hungry even before you were born, its poor, people have been poor before you were born, its how you were cheated, rob, duped, people have experience that before you were born, its oppression, suppression, molestation, unjustly ill-treated, others have experienced same. The biblical example for these are; Abraham in Gen. 21, Isaac Gen 26, Jacob, Samsom were all cheated, Lazareaus was poor and many other in same shoe,
#2. God is faithful
In every situation you pass through, still remember that God is faithful, He is still who is by His name, “I AM THAT I AM”. Your condition can not change who God is, neither will God change His mind towards you just because of the situation you are. He never forgot the men of those days neither will He forget you. His faithfulness is to all generations even to the unborn ones.
Because of His faithfulness, He will always be with you in all circumstances either in sickness or in health, sadness or happiness, pleasure or displeasure. Do you know that at your worst situation, the devil always amplify the condition to the extent that, you will begin to imagine that, there shall be no solution any where else except to do otherwise. But just remember, God is still faithful who will not abandon you in your place of need. He is the present help in the days of trouble. Ps. 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Ps 50:15 Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Ps 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. Ps 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Never forget the faithful of God, and if you are roaming about without hope, I suggest you hand over your life to God who is always faithful and ready to keep you and stay by you all the days of your life.
#3. God will not let you be tempted beyond your strength.
Every one born of a woman is of special grace and this grace differ from each other, my level of grace may be different than yours. God who understands the strength and ability of individual knows what to do at every situation. He will never allow any thing that will jeopardize your life, as such He will not allow the temptation that is bigger than you to come to you. The temptation that Mr. A faced and succeeded because of his level of grace, if it comes to Mr. B, Mr. B may fail because he is not having the grace of Mr. A. God who understands this will not allow that which you cannot bear to come to you; any temptations or problems that comes to you, He know you can over come it that is why He allowed it.
#4. God will with the temptation will also provide the way of escape
In every temptation there is a way of escape no matter how tough the situation may be, God will always place a loop hole for you to escape the situation. Continue to trust in the Lord for His ability to take you away from your troubles.
#5. God provide the grace that you may be able to endure it
There are some situation that you have to bear little things some time, life is not completely bed of roses, it is some time hard but that does not mean that it is going to be so forever, know that there are some lessons God want you to learn in order for you to have first hand experience so in the future, you will be in a better place to help some one else who will be in the same situation.
Add this.
If you want to get the best in Life, take every situation you passes through as a spring you land that will bounce you to the next level and stop saying “Why Me”. Joseph when he was hated by his brothers he felt, he was in trouble but it was a spring that sprang him into pit, while he was in the pit, he thought all was over for him but it was a spring that sprang him into Egypt, While in Egypt, he thought his life was over but it was a spring that sprang him to Potiphar’s house, while he was in Poyiphar’s house, he felt a bit relieved but sooner the wife brought terrible temptation which Joseph refused and this sprang him into prison. While he was in prison in a strange land where he didn’t have any to sympathized with in all his conditions he felt nothing to live for but one thing I thank God for is that, it is recorded that, why Joseph was in prison, Gen. 39:21 “The LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison”. This gave courage to Joseph and kept focusing on his dreams; if every one have failed, God will not fail. It is said in Psalm 27:10, “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up”. Finally, from the prison the spring sprang him to the palace which fulfilled his dreams. Hold unto God and all your WHYS will be over. Your problems cannot hold you band if you rely on God, this is another opportunity for you to hand over your life to God and feel relax in His arm.
