As you walk through the dark and you are at your weakest point, he gives you direction for every step, every action, what to take, what to leave, where to go... and when you feel pressed in from every side, he prepares a table for you in the presence of your enemies! "I will never leave you nor forsake you" Amen<br />Thank you Lord God, strengthen your servants, make us "flaming arrows" for you.

Deep inside, even we don't believe that God will keep and sustain us. But when we endure hardships, when we come through them and out the other side, we can look at what God has done in our life and KNOW deep within our being that He is there and can be trusted with our lives...both physical and eternal. We also see our own inadequacy for dealing with what we just came through, and understand that indeed it is God's strength that has won the battle and not our own. We simply cannot be truly faithful believers without trial.<br /><br />We also begin to fear trial less because we now know and trust in God's faithfulness to see us through anything. It is not that we enjoy it, but we accept the challenge, knowing that we do not face it alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436281585985366615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-22406341509350756512014-07-23T03:00:19.472-05:002014-07-23T03:00:19.472-05:00Outstanding!Outstanding!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-69140574031930166552014-07-21T21:16:36.770-05:002014-07-21T21:16:36.770-05:00Michael, you mentioned the soon coming falling awa...Michael, you mentioned the soon coming falling away. Are we not in the midst of that end-years prophecy? I can't imagine what else would have to happen or what other signs there could be than what we can witness today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-30133641477911208352014-07-21T20:27:09.382-05:002014-07-21T20:27:09.382-05:00Wow, the truth of kept or spared.

I'm going to have to read this more than once. In another way, I've actually prayed not to be spared because of what I read in Hebrews 11:35, "...Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection." Surely there will be those who are supernaturally delivered in specific times for specific reasons, but oh how I want to be in the center of God's will and pleasure in His wonderful plans with eternal view in this day and age right now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-53760152412893609892014-07-21T16:09:45.176-05:002014-07-21T16:09:45.176-05:00So true!

I read recently 2 Cor. 12:9-11 where Paul is saying, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." <br /><br /> We can be used so much more by God when we, our flesh and our attitudes and sense of entitlement, do not get in the way, and many times that means we need to face hardship so that we rely solely on Him and have a proper attitude towards our place in this world. God did not promise luxury and no trials...Scripture tells us the exact opposite!FionaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958762657117079451noreply@blogger.com
