We all have our right-hand man, or right-hand woman if you will; best friend; or the person you look to the most for help to handle challenges when they come up. I have had two right hands in my life since leaving the high school, and college phases of young life where I had my boys who had my back. There is an expectant difference between the challenges of adult life for our right-hand to have our back; and the challenges of a young person still in college, or high school for our boys or our girls to have our back. There will be some that will say that God has had their back their entire life, but that would be true for everyone if we are looking at it through the eyes of God: John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” In the eyes of God he so loved the world even though he knew that the world would not love him back: there would be a few like the Church for example, who he knew would love him back, but not the world. Looking through the same eyes of God, he is there to have the world’s back if the world would have him, but he knows that the world will not look to him to have its back. We the members of the body of Christ, the Church, by spiritual nature at the start of our being born again in Christ, will in our emotions and in our mind set proclaim that God has our back. This is just a part of the process for those at being born again will begin the renewing of their mind in order to grow to the place where they can do the Will of God. My question to all of us is at what point did God end just being the one proclaimed to have our back; and become the one who we actually look unto to have our back. Father Is My Partner In Problems.
When I went off to college at the age of eighteen, I believed with all the heart that I had at that age in my emotions and my mind that God had my back. Now when it came time to pay for something in college, the person that I looked to for the payment was my mom or my dad. Jesus was on my lips back in those days every step of the way, but my mom or my dad always got the heat to meet my need. In my world today, Jesus is still on my lips every step of the way; however, Jesus, even unto the Father, are the only ones that get the heat to meet my need. God may have used my parents, scholarships, and grants to have my financial back covered back in college in my young life; but I while calling on the name of Jesus, did not put the expectation on Jesus to come through if my parents, scholarships, or grants would have not come through for me. Jesus unto the Father is my right-hand man today because I now put the expectation onto God to come through even if my parents, scholarships, or grants would have not come through for me. It is a very hard burden to drop on one not mature or seasoned in God to look to God to come through when they have always looked at God to be synonymous with the things that did not come through. When we are young without expected responsibility; and even though we may have our boys, our girls, and our Jesus to cover our back emotionally and mentally; it is our parents of whom we will put the heat on to make it happen: it’s just the way the understanding goes when our will is only as strong as the will of the ones in which we look to have our back. I now put all the heat on Jesus, unto the Father, to have my needs or wants be brought to pass. I know that God uses people, places, or things in order to help bring to pass the thing that we hoped for, but I no longer expect those faith substances things to be the do all for what I hope for. If those things do not come thru for me, I now look to God with the expectation that he has more for me to work with in his inventory. I will happily take all the help and favor that I can get by chance or by intent to bring to pass the thing that I hoped for; however, if someone, something, or someplace from this help or favor does not come through, the heat is still on my right-hand to have my back.
