When Things May Seem Not So Easy

 Have you ever wondered if a task was going to seem easy to you? Have you ever thought that some things that seem so simple in life are the easiest things to do but then you realize it might not be?

Well, when we think things seem easy without even beginning to think that things may not seem so easy, we can start to think and maybe even start to make ourselves believe that we will have things in life that are easy even when they may seem not so easy to begin with.

You see, God didn't call His Disciples or us to have a life that was easy or live in a life that is just going to be easy.

Many things may see easy but they are not so easy to do with tasks that become hard.

It's like riding a bike for an example, it's one of those things that you think is going to be easy but it turns up being not so easy to do.

Does that mean you give up on riding a bike? No, you keep trying and persevere to allow yourself to try.

Where would we be if things were easy? Where would we be if things seemed not so easy and were just difficult in life?

 Let's look at scriptures that talk about this subject because I feel like in any circumstance we shouldn't take things for granted so easily as things that might get taken for granted may not seem so easy at all.

Ephesians 2 verse 9 says: not by works, so that no one can boast.

What does this scripture look like to you? For me, it looks like when we feel like we can easily take something for granted that is when we begin to realize that things may not seem so easy or come so easily because without Christ we would have nothing and with Him, we have everything.

Romans 5 verse 8 says: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. To me this scripture means that we see how God has demonstrated His Love and while were still Sinners, He sent His Son to die on the cross to be forgiven. It also means for me that in order to receive Christ's unfailing love we need to accept it and be open to it because without His Love what would we have? Would we have the Enemy telling us lies in how that God's Love doesn't come to us? Think about that for a moment. Think of what it would look like if God's Love wasn't in our life.

James 1 verse 2-4 says: Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

We see here that God is Faithful and True in what He does. We see how God can give us what we need, and how no matter what we can grow further and deeper with Him in knowledge while not lacking in anything because God will give us the strength we need to overcome.

See things may seem easy and sometimes life can be simple but then we begin to see how things may not seem so easy and that's when we rely on God for Wisdom and for Truth.

We even begin to see in John 16 verse 33 that God shows us what it is like to go through something but with a peace while we go through trials and tribulations and gives us the opprotunity to take heart because He has overcome the world.

Faith it makes it possible, not easy. 

We need to keep things simple and not let Satan complicate things for us.

The will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect You.

God did not say it would be easy, but He did say He'd be with you.

''He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion.''

When we finally look at these quotes, especially the last one, we see how when things may seem not so easy because they are not, we begin to understand what God is doing to bring these things to completion in our life and show us that with just a little Faith, we can come a long way and with just a little Hope we can have that seed planted deep into our Heart for Him and because of that, we can begin to see that what we do for Him is what He wants for us. No matter what we are facing in life, God holds this entire world in His Hands and He has a plan set in place or even set in stone, and it's our job to continue to serve Humbly for Him.

I want to end on this last lyric from Casting Crown's song called Anything But Easy: I can see the path You've chosen, we both know where this is going, I'm afraid of how your story is gonna end And this scared as I am, I know this could be my last chance, To stand between You and forever's, yeah, It will be easy to talk about the weather, It will be easy to look beyond the wave, But I love You too much to not say something, Without the truth my love means nothing, Sometimes love is anything but easy, Anything but easy.

I wanted to end on that lyric to show just when we think something is easy, it's anything but that.
