The Solution Is Close To You

"Salvation that comes from trusting Christ-which is the message we preach- is already within easy reach. In fact, the scriptures say, 'The message is close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart" Romans10:8 (New Living)

God has deposited in and around you what you need to overcome the challenges of life. One of these is the word in your mouth that can be used either in prayer or in consistent confession of the word of God. Another is your gift which you must develop and put to use. There are many other things and events around you which can start your miracles.

For Hagar and her dying son in the desert, it was a water well very close to her that God opened her eyes to see. (Gen. 21:19). For Moses and the Children of Israel at the red sea, it was the rod in the hand of Moses (Ex. 14:16). For the widow of the prophet who owed so much that creditors were going to seize her two sons, it was the little oil that was in her house. (2Kings 4:2). And for Timothy a youth pastoring the large church of Ephesus, It was his gift (2Tim. 1:6). So beloved, don't look too far, the solution is close by. It is in you and around you.

I ask God to open your eyes to what you have. Let His mighty hands see you through every challenge in life.
