The past few months haven't been easy for me.I've been facing a lot of doubtful moments;but through it all,I was comforted by the Holy Spirit through God's Word .
He reminded me:
Dissappointments,heartache,failure,tears,weariness,sickness,doubt,spiritual drought will come,BUT these are not reasons to give up .He went on to remind me how God led the Israelites as a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of cloud during the day,providing manna from Heaven.He reminded me how God opened the red sea for them and kept their clothes over a period of 40 years.
I was reminded of how God led Abraham,provided for Joseph and Daniel in foreign Lands, kept Jonah inside the Belly of a fish,how he kept Noah in the ark and how he saved Lot during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
He went on to remind me how Jesus fed multitudes with 2 loaves and 5 fish,how Jesus restored sight to the blind,health to the sick,sound to the def .How Jesus turned ordinary water into unfermented wine.How he restored the life of the alduterous woman in John 8:1-11 ,and quenched the thirst of the Samaritan woman(John 4:5-32)
And He quoted Jesus' words “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) and my peace was restored .
He went an extra mile of reminding me "what is impossible with man,is possible with GOD"~Luke 18:27.In fact,He reminded me of a conversation that took place between Jeremiah and God,where God asked,"Is there anything too hard for me?"~Jeremiah 32:27 and an answer came forth " Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.~Jeremiah 32:17
And lastly,those who trust in the Lord cannot be moved~PSALM 125:1 !
Yes,trials will come.You might be going through one now:but Jesus said: "I will never leave you nor forsake you."..Remember,dear friend,''With Jesus in the vessels,you can smile at the storm"
What's even more comforting,Jesus went through every trial and even more,so he knows how we feel.In fact,He's the ONLY One who really know and can relate to everything we go through "16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[a] fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted."~Hebrews 2:16-18.
And Isaiah 53 even paints the picture clear !
Be blessed and spend much time in prayer and study of God's Word for this is where strength comes from :).
