Still Trying?

 

If you have browsed to find what people have to say about ‘trying’ you would find ample of suggestions and quotes available that says the key thing to success is trying, one which is very commonly used is “try and try at last you will succeed” and that from Carl Burnett which says “when things are disappointed, try not to be discouraged”  and the famous Alexander the great said “There is nothing impossible to him who will try”. It definitely looks very motivating but is not the answer by itself. I hear someone honestly saying “I have tried innumerable times but it is just not happening and I don’t know how to take it further” still someone in their pain are saying that they have tried desperately to change the status for better but nothing seems to move, not even an inch forward. How do we respond to such? Would you still echo that the mantra for success, achieving your desired goal, and changing your life status depends upon trying? It is time to take a shift seriously.

Let us not ignore the limitation of human being and fail to acknowledge our finitude. You definitely need to look for someone who is bigger than you and who can help you when you are in an impasse situation. Unless you understand the God dimension and His sovereignty you will be continuously trying with your aptitude, attitude, ability, using your competence, influences just to find it has not worked in most of the cases, especially when it comes to life problems. The Bible teaches us that God not only offers us encouragement when we are in a difficult pit, but He actually enters into the pit with us to see us through. We really will be okay, because God is with us.

He doesn’t want you wandering for ‘years in the desert looking but not finding a good place to live, half-starved and parched with thirst, staggering and stumbling, on the brink of exhaustion’. He wants the very best for your life. He has a wonderful road for your life. God is not only a good builder, He’s the ultimate architect, restoration specialist, and general contractor. Before you know what, you need, He has what you need. When the world needed a Savior, He sent the chief cornerstone. Therefore, we can say “I am confident,” not self-confident, but God Confident.

Stop constantly thinking you are not good enough to be blessed and keep on trying harder and doing more. You may have been struggling to get back on your feet, or to lift yourself out of the problem that has sorely weighed you down. You have attempted to do whatever you could, hoping that it would amount to something, but you have been frustrated time and again. My friend, God wants you to cease from all your struggling and accept the offer He extends to turn your situation around. God’s Word says, “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.”. 

The day you cease from your own laboring and striving, and rest in the finished work of Christ, is the day you receive your miracle. The Bible says, "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world". Stop trying harder, just trust in God. I want to leave you with the famous quote by D L Moody, “Trust in yourself, and you are doomed to disappointment; trust in your friends, and they will die and leave you; trust in money, and you may have it taken from you; trust in reputation, and some slanderous tongue may blast it; but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity.”.
