God's Placing

I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8 AMPC

Few Lessons:
1. God's place in your life will determine the resources that will be available to you. Some people have made God one of many options or the fallback plan, just in case the main plan and the plan B does not work. Unfortunately, things may have gotten irretrievably out of hand before you get to the God-option.
2. Have you determined with certainty God's place in your heart? When things threaten to get out of control, where does your mind go? You can choose to see the amazing size of your problems or you can choose to see the amazing size of the God who can do all you think are impossible. It is a matter of focus. It is not an option or a temporary or occasional thing. At every point in time, whether things are hard or easy, God is the only focus and the continual point of our affection.
3. If you will remain unmovable, you must sort out your heart long before the problems start. You do not get to the middle of the river and complain about the wetness or the volume of water; you have to settle in your heart where God fits in your life. The three Hebrew men didn't make that speech on total commitment just on a whim; they had taken time to know God and to develop a relationship with him. Daniel couldn't have been calling on God because a lions' den was waiting for him; he had developed and consistently nurtured a living, breathing relationship with God. It is the same with us today: don't wait until the problems start. Know God now, seek him now, wait on him now, learn to trust him now. The days of testing and shaking are coming. Your standing then is determined by your priorities and focus now. His time of favour is here.
