“In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths” — Proverbs 3:6 (AMP)
I’ve observed how people react when things aren’t going well, and one thing stands out: they often acknowledge the problem, discussing its power repeatedly, until it grows larger in their minds. Unfortunately, they fail to acknowledge God and His mighty works, which is why they remain stuck in their challenges.
Beloved, when you face difficulties, it’s a mistake to magnify the problem and dwell on its effects. Instead, you should ignore the problem and magnify God and His works. Why? Because when you constantly talk about your struggles, you’re giving credit to what the devil is doing, inadvertently glorifying him. Don’t let the enemy take the glory in your life.
No matter what you’re going through, remember this: God is always victorious, and the devil has already lost. You are on the winning side, regardless of your circumstances. You might ask, But is it possible to ignore a serious problem and act like nothing is happening? The answer is yes! That’s why the Bible says, “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials…” (James 1:2 NKJV). It doesn’t say to talk or cry about your problems, but to count it all joy—meaning, you should look beyond the challenge and rejoice, knowing that it’s just a test of your faith.
“The testing of your faith produces patience, but let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:3-4 NKJV). So, acknowledge God and give Him the glory due to Him. Remember what He has done for you in the past, and as you glorify Him, you will see His blessings released over your life like never before. Praise God!
