 The scripture that comes from Ruth when Ruth said she said to them call me not Naomi Call me Mara Naomi means pleasant Mara means bitter for the Almighty had dealt very bitterly with me I went out full and the Lord had brought me home again empty Why then you call me Naomi seeing the Lord had testified against me and the Almighty Has afflicted me Naomi her name is pleasant, but her life was not pleasant her life was harsh She lost her husband. She lost her two sons at the very young age and She blamed God for what happened first of all it wasn't God's fault that she went to a territory that was in her own God is not responsible for what happens to you when you step away from his will and she comes back home and people say hey Naomi She says don't call me that call me Mara For God she didn't say life. She said God has been angry with me God has been bitter toward me and God testifies against me It is very dangerous to view life through the lenses of your situation If you view God through your life at best you will be limited at worse you will be deceived Never let life explain God let God explain life Don't ever let your pain explain God's promises let God's promises make sense your pain Because Naomi little did she know as she walked into the land of Israel Her life is about to change be completely transformed by God whom she's blaming for her problems We are always limited when we let life define God We will be deceived if we let our situation Explain don't look through the window of your problem at God look at God Look at your situation through the window of his promises and only then you will make sense of things in life God is not responsible to explain everything that happened to you But he wants to be responsible for every good thing that will come into your life if you trust them If you say God I will trust you God I don't understand But I don't want fairness God. Don't give me what I deserve Give me what I don't deserve if you have enemies in your life or hurt you deeply Don't ever seek For their damage don't ever wish and pray so that they will suffer Don't ever do that on the opposite turn your anger For God to succeed you and bless you and say God in spite of them bless me more in spite of them Prosperity more Let my success Be there my revenge I Don't want them to crush. I don't want them to fail. I just want to succeed because somebody say man
