Last week, as I was reading my 1yr bible, I came across this verse, Psalm 34:19.
"Many adversities come to the one who is righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all." (HCSB)
Let's take a step back and look back at our lives. Were there times when you face difficulties, setbacks, betrayals, back-stabbing, etc. Were there times when everything seem impossible? Were there times when you are at your wit's end? Have you come to a crossroad and have no idea which way to go?
I'm sure most of us had experienced such times.
Where are we now? Havent we gone through all that? Did we overcome/been through such times on our own? Based on our intelligence, capabilites, strengths, finite knowledge, dynamic thinking, and radical mindsets?? Could this be all that's needed?
NO
NO
NO
!!!
NO
NO
!!!
Turn your eyes towards Jesus. Recognize that it's through HIM that we could overcome all these times. God is our deliverer! Thank Him for His faithfulness.
There will still be times like these in the future. There could be even much more. But let us claim the promise the God has given us through Psalm 34:19. The Lord will deliver!
James 1:2-3
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kind, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
