Psalm 27:13-14 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Sometimes it may seem as if we are not the apple of God’s eye any longer and all though we want to continue to stand, we keep falling deeper and deeper into despair. Our love for The Father is not the question but never catching a break or finding that peace which surpasses all understanding leaves us wandering.
Through this experience, while in the middle of it, we must learn to be content with where we are and with what we are going through. Know that the making of something special always begins with rough materials which is first plucked from a sinful world; a determination is then made to what area, in God’s service, you will be. Don’t get me wrong the love of God is over all but there are some areas one fits better than another: God sees this and according to His will, He act on it; then we molded and shaped, (sometimes with no consideration as to whether it hurts or not) all according to His will; thrown in the fire of life to be changed into His beautiful workmanship, a masterpiece to be forgiven, holy, and redeemed, to be conquerors, to be healed and whole; greatly loved by God; a brand new creation, alive and made new. Because through it all YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, has an awesome, full, and overflowing, plan for our life; in it is our strength, our joy, our provision, our confidence, our courage, and boldness.
We should know that for our growth, in Him, we are going to experience the testing of our faith through the trials of His will. Our response to the state (that we are in) is to look up to steady on our course to perfect righteousness, in Christ, our Lord and Saviour. As we do this and lift our hands in total praise and admonition, we will see the goodness of God’s will and through Jesus know that we will be heard and His Will, will be done.
So, with this knowledge of why we may not seem to be the apple of God’s eye due to all the things set before us to endure, we can rest assured that because of these things we are: He chastises and test to go higher, the ones He love (of course that is all of us; some fail, some gets it) in the position He has purposed for use. (Philippians 4:8-14 8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
