FROM THE PASTOR'S PORCH: Act Naturally or Supernaturally??

Do you ever have any bad days? You know, the kind of days that just don't work out and everything goes horribly wrong from the way that you had it planned out.... all perfect?? We all have days like that don't we? Sometimes I think I have more that my fair share of 'em too! Well, knowing that we all have these times that are far from perfect, the real question is how do we handle it; how do we respond? Let's take a look at what happens when we, as the song goes, "Act Naturally".

Well, the first thing I used to do (and still do on occasion) when I don't get my way and things are not going well is I work up a good case of mad, and then I go to complaining. Funny thing about complaining is once you start complaining it seems like everytime you open your mouth it just leads to more complaining. Now Satan wants you to believe "the squeeky wheel gets the grease", but I'm hear to tell you the truth. All that complaining does is put your life in a downward spiral. The more you complain the steeper and more slippery it gets and if you don't realize what's happening and throw on the brakes, your life is headed for a big old CRASH!! STOP COMPLAINING!!! Doin' what comes natural is NOT a good plan of action. Let's take a look at the Supernatural way of handling this situation.

First and foremost, take it to the Lord. That's right, cry out in the name of Jesus for help and PRAY. When you have lost control of your life, you must go to the one who is in control of everthing, including your life. The next step is to TRUST God for your salvation. I don't care how big your problem is, it is not as big as your God. Your richest blessing may be just around the corner; out of sight. That's why we must walk (live) by Faith (Trust) and not by sight. This doesn't mean we just close our eyes and run around blindly like the village idiot. It means subordinating your problem circumstances of this visible world to the invisible yet all powerful King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the Shepard of your Soul! Now to really throw on the brakes and stop the downward spiral of your life.....be THANKFUL. Thank God for everything, even though is seems very unnatural....even irrational; but slowly this will help you to Ascend and get back to the abundant life that God intended for you to be living in the first place. If you choose to handle problems supernaturally, it will lead you to experience the unfathomable PEACE that Jesus said he would leave just for you!

So, are you going to act naturally or supernaturally. One leads to chaos and destruction; the other one leads to abundant life and Peace that passes all understanding. The choice is yours. Please read Psalms 13 over and over until you get it right.......that's what I did. ~Pastor Lynn
