My ponderings for the week

We all face different things in life. and we shouldn't judge others how they deal with things in their life because we would never know how we would deal with it if we were in their shoes. 

I was reading a book recently by Haley DiMarco it reads:

are you facing a battle that you have to fight? do you have a big trial in front of you that you aren't sure how you're going to overcome?  and take a look at God's word for help. look at the life of the people of Israel. in almost every case all Israel did was go through the Motions of the battle while God himself get all the actual fighting. when you get up get going and going through the motions of something that you've got to do then God will do what he does: win the battle.

when you see something that has to be done you can't sit on your couch waiting for God to do his thing. you are called to participate like the Israelites walking around Jericho. you have to move and trust that when you get moving God does miracles. why would God repeatedly asked Israelites to step out in faith and do things that ultimately he himself would do for them. it was a test of their faith. moving acting doing what God calls that Christian to do Proves that you trust and believe in him. you have to know that God does the work through you but he works through you when you start to work. so even if the job ahead of you seems ridiculous or scary get up and get going so that you can see the hand of God at work.

I have been pondering on this for a while now how do you deal with your battles. I know I have a lot to deal with in my own life is far as dealing with battles I should rely on God a lot more than I do. I worry for too much. hope everyone has an awesome week.
