God's Taken Care Of It

we worry too much about the outcome of things, that we don't stop to realise that God has already taken care of it.

When we want to achieve success in academics, business, career, finances, relationships etc ,we are going to fail at some point. Multiple times for some of us than others. Then comes one of life's most fascinating questions; 'How do we respond when we fail?'. The road to success is never an easy one. There are numerous hurdles, and you may fall or fail along the way however, success lies in being able to get up every time you fall which brings us to the example of the baby giraffe. When a baby giraffe is born, it falls from about eight feet above the ground. The mother giraffe then stands above the baby and gives it a hard kick, after it falls and start to stretch it's limbs, the mother gives it another hard kick. the baby then pushes out it's limbs and stands on it's feet for the first time. The mother giraffe doesn't stop here, it gives the baby yet another harder kick. upon landing on the ground, the baby gets up and starts walking away. The mother then walks to the baby to hug it because she knows her baby has learnt an important lesson in life: it doesn't matter how hard you fall, but always remember to pick yourself up. The mother teaches the baby this lesson because unless the baby quickly learns to stand on it's feet and run with the pack, it will not survive an attack from it's preys.

Most of  the time when we fall, we fail to pick ourselves back up because we try to to make it on our own without pursing God. So when we stumble, we become discouraged and take the easiest option available to us which is to give up. But when we put our faith and trust in God, we will always have a reason to keep getting up and the will to keep pursing our dreams because Jesus already claimed the victory for us when he died on the cross. So we know that no matter how hard it gets or however many times we fall, we have a reason to get back up and keep going because God's already taken care of it. All he requires of us is to keep believing and have faith that the ending has already been determined. Our success and victory has already been assured and all we need to learn to do is to put in the effort by never giving up. A man's character is not determined by his victories but how he responds after failing. Listen to Jesse Jackson:"if you fall behind ,run faster.Never give up! Never surrender, rise up against the odds". That's all it takes. Learn to get back up every time you fall.

When we learn to trust in God's timing, rely on His promises and wait for His answers, We get to witness God's purpose in our lives and watch/realise things unfold in the most mind blowing way. After all The Bible tells us that "God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think". However we must always remember that "In His time he makes all things beautiful". Note that it says "In his time" and not your own time or when you deem the time to be right. God's plan is of good and not of disaster, to bring us a future that is filled with his glory. This means we must never give up in anything we do because God is intentional and as long as we keep believing and have faith that He is working out everything for our good, we will always have a reason to keep getting back up on our feet whenever will fall. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living. Always remember that you are a working progress and God is not finished with you yet.
