"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."
Galatians 6:7 (NKJV)
Everyone will have some problems sometime in their life. Some people seem to have more problems than others and some people have problems that they never seem to be able to fix. While there can be many reasons that there are problems in our life, one of the biggest reasons we have problems is often overlooked. Many times the greatest source of the problems in our life is us; if we want to know who to blame for our troubles we often just need to look in the mirror! There are times we are in difficult situations simply because we are reaping the results of the things we have sown.
When we have problems we want to point a finger at other people, our circumstances, or even the devil; we want to blame someone for what is happening but we don't realize that sometimes we just need to be honest and blame ourselves for our problems. We make a poor choice that results in something bad happening, or we get involved with a person who is not so right with God and trouble develops. It can be true that other people, our circumstances, and even the devil can be a source of trouble but sometimes we will just have to admit that we may be the greatest source of our own problems.
While we can be the greatest source of problems in our own life we can also do something about our problems. We need to use wisdom and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in every area of our life, everyday. We must make it a habit to spend regular time with God in His Word and in prayer to know His plan and direction for our life and then follow it. But even if we have caused our own problems, when we go to God He will be there to help us and guide out of the mess we have created and bring us back to the place He wants us to be. There will always be problems and difficulties in life but by doing the right things we can chart a course that will avoid some of major problems that many people face in life.
