I have many people who are dealing with a lot of things in their life and they are looking for answers. Answers to tough questions that in some cases have turned into problems. When I view their situations as well as the situations in my own life I can usually attribute those hard times to one thing. My walk.

Ephesians 4:17
"This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind..."

Many situations I get myself in usually falls strictly to the fact that I was trying to figure things out on my own. When I try to handle certain situations and overcome certain issues in my own life that is when I dig myself deeper. When I should be turning it all over to God.

The scripture encourages me to walk no longer as I used to walk. Which also means I won't handle the situations and hardships the same as I did before. I would get mad before and want to retaliate but now that I am a "new creature in Christ" I am to no longer walk as I walked. I have to quit trying to figure everything out in my own mind and just turn everything over to God. Let Him handle those who oppose me and want to cause trouble for me and the ministry.

Prayer:
"Lord, I may not understand everything I battle with in my life. Things may happen that doesn't make sense so I pray that I will walk as you would have me to walk and depend upon you for my guidance and answers to life's tough questions."
