Psalm 30:8

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Psalm 30:8

8 I cried [qara'] to thee, O LORD [Yahovah]; and unto the LORD [Yahovah] I made supplication [chanan].  KJV-Interlinear

8 To Thee, O Lord, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication:  NASB

When life’s problems come at you, then the normal and correct thing to do is to turn to, the Lord, not against Him.  This is the devils world and all things that are wrong with the world are due to Satan, never God. God created the universe perfect and Satan ruined it.  God restored the world perfect, and then Satan came along and tempted Adam and Eve and ruined it with sin.

Anything and everything in your life, that is not perfect, is due to this being the devils world.  Your handicaps, your defects, your temporary status in this world, your aches and pains, your lacking in any and every area of life, the burdens of life, the insecurities of life, the pressures and difficulties of life, all, are due to this being the devils world.

Satan has control now and it is his plan, not Gods, that manages the world.  And it is a total failure. Satan manages based on his attempts to defeat God, not make your life better.

So, when life comes at you, then look to God, not in complaint, but in humility.

Put the blame where blame is due, namely on Satan, but also, look in the mirror and see your own spiritual flaws and deficiencies and correct those, too.  If your spiritual life is dysfunctional, then don’t blame Satan for your failures.

Believe in Christ and be saved.  That is a given, or should be. 
Confess your sins to God the Father and live your life in fellowship.  That too, should be a given. 
Then participate in a daily bible study, every day, and learn and keep on learning and grow up in your spiritual life.  That too, should be a given. 

After all, living the spiritual life is the easiest thing to do.  Resisting the spiritual life actually takes more effort.
