This is part of a previous post but I know we need the encouragement right about now.
Through it all, I genuinely believe that as we trust and believe, the LORD will keep us grounded in times of sickness and storms, hardship, and that which would be harmful to us. Even though we may be tossed and driven, by the raging seas, of life, as we keep our eyes steady in His Word, Will, and Way He will not allow us to be swallowed up by the enemy. We must come back. We must get rid of the defiant and rebellious heart which has become callous toward the One whom we should be running too. We must stop revolting against YHWH, GOD, and develop a reverential fear toward Him. Because we will never win. There is no one nor nothing that can escape the arm of God. It is He alone, who is in control and makes this world go around; sustaining all life within it. (Numbers 11:22 If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?” Isaiah 50:2Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst. Isaiah 59:1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear).
As we turn our love, hopes, dreams, our entire life, over to Him, the enemy’s attempts (in which ever form) will not overcome us: we will attain and maintain (with Yashuah’, Jesus’ help, a peace that surpasses our understanding; the peace of GOD. (Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus). Not saying you will not experience troubles, trials, and tribulations, only saying that your response to them will be a “godly” difference. But it is up to you, as one who profess to be a child of the Most High God, to seek and ask YHWH (GOD) to guard your mind, heart, body, and spirit so that you can go through the valleys of injustice, and scale the mountains of hatred; fight off the wiles of the devil and the many diseases, distractions, and destructions caused by him and those who choose to allow him to use them as pawns. We cannot stop the devil from roaming about seeking who he will destroy, (only YHWH, GOD, can do that) but the extent of his destruction will be limited to his own mind when we do not faint and give in to the fear and his promptings. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and the depth of our strength. (Proverbs 9:10-12 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. 12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it).
