What promise or provision does this situation point me towards?
Here is an uncomfortable situation. Would you also describe it as a problem? This is always a useful addition because it means, without a doubt, you are about to receive a gift. Your Father has placed His finger on an area in your life where you (probably already suspect you) are due for an upgrade.
He is too careful in His fathering of you to allow any problem to present itself without checking that the provision you need is nestled up right beside it. Rom. 8:28
Your Father does not bring problem situations into your life, but He will use them to benefit you by strengthening your relationship with Him. He is all in all and everything you will ever need, so celebrate this opportunity to receive more of Him. You are about to find the knowledge of Him that will lift you up above that circumstance and give you the perspective you need on it, on yourself, and on your wonderful Father.
Does this sound like an upgrade you want? Then, resist the temptation to react to pressure from the world. You are a citizen of the Kingdom, not the world, so respond to God and don’t react to the world. Be still. ‘Father, who do you want to be for me in this situation?’ You can have sure and certain confidence in the one who is unchanging. Mal. 3:6
Your enemy would like to use problem situations to create a ‘state’ in your life where he can control your reactions. Merriam-Webster defines state as a condition of mind or temperament. The life of Christ, within you, only operates from your ‘standing’ – your standing with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Merriam-Webster defines standing as the position from which you may assert or enforce legal rights and duties. Here is your source of heavenly wisdom. It can never be taken from you, but you can choose to surrender it to your ‘state’.
Whoops. Yes, all of us have slipped up here and there is no blame and no shame for any of us. A do-over is on its way.
