“…Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials…”
2 Peter 2:9
Too often, we try to make sense of what was, the pain of our past, and even the present discomfort. We try to pinpoint where we went wrong in a decision that dug us into a deep hole. Grace pulls us out time and time again, but yet, we are left with scars and wounds we do not readily have the wisdom to interpret. So we carry them along the journey in Faith. I am here to tell you these truths,
If it was meant to kill you, you would have been dead,
If it was meant to break you, you would be broken,
If it was meant to crush you, you would be crushed,
If it was meant to take your hope, you would be hopeless,
If it was meant to harm you, you would have been harmed, (Being hurt and harmed are degrees away from being similar)
If it was meant to lock you up, you would be in that bondage,
If it was meant to keep you helpless, you would not have received help,
If the lies were meant to keep you bound, the truth would not have set you free,
If they were and are meant to be a part of your life, they would be and they will be,
If you were meant to fall and never get up, you would still be wallowing in your failures,
Friend, every single one of your painful moments, has held with it a greater purpose. Not one single tear has been left to hit the ground without reason. God has them all in His jar of mercy and grace.
We must learn to trust God in all trials.
Yes, when it rains, it pours because sometimes we need the healing rain of God to wash us clean again and heal our wounds, to purify our souls.
Through the turbulent times, let God be your seat belt. You will not hit the ground as long as you lean completely on God’s grace and fall on His Majesty.
I pray that God Almighty will grant us the wisdom and enlightenment to see in the higher spiritual realm of matters we do not understand so we are able to walk with Him in confidence. I declare in Jesus name that we will no longer give the enemy power over what is supposed to lift us up to another realm of capacity and purpose. We shall live and not die in Jesus name. Amen.
