WILL THE LORD ABANDON YOU O MAN?
March 20, 2024A COMMAND AND A PROMISE
March 22, 2024When things are not going well, our vision can get blurred. We may not be able to see clearly and with clarity. Such a situation happens, when we are overwhelmed by our circumstances, and our dependency on God, as Christians, is no more at the optimum. We begin to see more of the problem, than the One who promised to be with us, at all times – Deuteronomy 31:6-8.
Job has a perfect remedy for us, born out of his deep, painful and personal experiences – “1 Then Job answered the LORD and said: 2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” – Job 42:1-2. Job wants us to know and remember that, God is sovereign, and all that He ever wants to achieve, will be achieved, no matter what. Isn’t that comforting!!!
The same spirit is expressed by many a great men and women of God, down through the ages. David confidently faced his giant, because, David chose to trust God, and His ability, to keep David safe and secure, even though the enemy was formidable. This is what is needed by all of us. We need to see the bigness of our God, and not the bigness of our problems.
What struggles are we facing today? What are some of the issues of life that are threatening us? Learn to seek God. Learn to trust Him. Learn to be obedient and faithful in all the the LORD is asking of us. May the LORD help us to live for Him and His glory.
