Change the Order

Jeremiah 32:27
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?”

“Rather than saying ‘God, here is my problem,’ we should put the problem into perspective by saying ‘Problem, here is my God!’ ” Whoever wrote those words must have understood that there is no problem in our lives that God cannot handle.

When we make our problems the objects of our lives, it is easy to become discouraged and forget that we have a God who will sustain us during our trials. However, when we change our perspective and the order of the words, we see that God becomes the object and the focus of our lives. It doesn’t seem as if such a small detail would matter much, but when you visualize introducing your problems to almighty God, suddenly they seem smaller, and you realize just how triumphant you can be with His help.

Often it is only a matter of changing our perspective in order to overcome adversity. No matter what troubles you are facing, always remember our God is big enough, strong enough, and powerful enough to take care of them. He is the answer to all of life’s problems, and He is enough.
