”For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou has tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: BUT thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. – Psalms 66:10 – 12.
The Challenges we have faced in the last one year is more than enough to break any human spirit, make one to despair and at the verge of giving it all up altogether. Here we are today by God’s grace and still waxing in Him. To some, they are still passing through difficult times and the Bible is always there for us in all situations.
There is nothing new under the sun and what is has always being. The Psalmist in the above scripture enunciated that the fathers of faith in times past had their own fair of challenges but the
faithful God who is still on the throne saw them through (I Cor 10:13)
For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou has tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: BUT thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
Psalms 66:10 – 12..
We are encouraged in the scriptures to give thanks ‘’in everything’’ and not ‘’for everything’’. There are certain experiences you have and you wonder if you can give thanks ‘’for’’ that situation, but the scripture enjoins us to give thanks ‘’in everything’’.
Therefore brethren, let us obey the word of the Lord and begins to see a turnaround in our situations. There are many words of comfort from the Lord and we need to the word so that it can become flesh in our situations (Isa 54:3 -5).
Now unto Him who is able to keep you without falling, I commit you and all yours now and forevermore.
Shalom.
