Dealing with life’s challenges 11

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalm 22:6

Some challenges will also come as a result of the challenges in the country you live in. That is why it is necessary to pray for the country where you live and do the right thing. When Samaria was besieged, there was famine and people began to buy dung of dove for food. A woman even offered her son for food (2kings 6). If you are living in a country that is politically besieged or economically troubled, this creates some extra challenges.

It is important to note that you should follow God’s direction in choosing where you will pitch your tent. Your location has a lot to do with your allocation.

“Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.” 1 Kings 17:9
“And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;” Genesis 26:2-3
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” 2 Corinthians 5:7

If you live in a place where God has directed, you will be protected and you will live in peace and prosperity no matter the situation of the place. Don’t run away from a country because it does not look good, ask God for direction, for we walk not by sight but by faith.

May God guide you in all your ways in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Let this country (mention where you live) enjoy the peace and prosperity of God in Jesus name.
