From the natural to the spiritual during a trial.

Firstly, thank you Ameerah

1: In the physical realm, we concentrate on the fire, the difficulty and the appearance of lack. In that state, the adversary will cause us to feel alone and hopeless. If we abide in him and he in us, we will find that our place of reality is the spiritual realm and there, we have a strong partner in the Lord and a shield from the "fire" and trials of life. We find that we don't even "smell or appear as if we were in a fire".

2: When I asked why I was demonstrating the fact that I did not have faith and a vision God's hand in the circumstance. In my case God answered the "why" and blessed our family through a loss with a new life.

3: I am not angry at the Lord, I am striving to reach the place that he needs me to be in so that I can receive the blessings ha has set up for me. I need, more study, fasting and being in his presence to grow closer to him.
