Psalm 13:1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

When we do not immediately respond to others, how do they react to us? When God does not immediately respond to our calls, how do we respond to Him?

We all expect our friends and family to come to our help when we fail at something or when things go wrong – but what do we do when others have problems?

God is always here for us but will not always put things right when we demand it. Just maybe He wants us to learn how to handle a situation, so we can help others out.

Don’t blame God when you feel you cannot handle a situation – call out and ask for His guidance to get you through it…

Psalm 43:2 You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?

How quick are you to blame God when things go wrong? How quick are you to say that God is the one who has walked away from the conversation?

It is our own doubt and disbelief which causes us to think such things and certainly not our God. We are the ones who falter and blame it on God.

Just like walking down the road and tripping over a paving slab which is sticking up slightly – we are too quick to blame others rather than accepting a bit of responsibility.

We should not have to demand God lays down our whole life before us before we live it – we may not like what we see!

Daniel 2:46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and paid him honour and ordered that an offering and incense be presented to him.

What happens to you when someone praises you? Do you pump yourself up with pride and tell others of your ‘greatness’ or do you carry on and play things down?

The king thought there must be some divinity within Daniel because he had been able to do what nobody else could do.

But we know it was not Daniel who learned and interpreted the dream, it was God. Don’t ever try and take the praise due to God upon yourself. Give all praise to God and He will give you what is due to you!
