The dark moments of our life will last only so long, as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us. Right now, right where you are, remember this: God has put a limit on all adversity. Because you are a child of God, the Holy Spirit is living inside of you. He knows how much you can bear. God wants to break us of the idea that we are sufficient on our own. He made us for a loving, dependant relationship with Himself, and He uses adversity to remind us of the fact. God allows adversity to mold and shape you, but He uses it only so long as it is needed. Once it has performed its function, He takes it away. God wants to accomplish several goals in your life, and by allowing adversity he gets our attention, delivers us from pride, reveals our weaknesses, strengths, demonstrates the faithfulness of God and strengthens our faith. I understand that is very hard to try to stay “still”, especially when we have rent to pay, bills are piling up and you are without work BUT remember that today’s troubles are just that: today’s troubles. Crises pass. Circumstances change. Situations evolve. God works in and through adversity to bring it to an end, according to His timetable. The Lord knows your need. He knows it even better than you do and before you do (Matt. 6:8). The Lord has all power to supply to you whatever you need (Phil. 4:19). The Lord is at work even now (while you are reading this) to meet your needs (Ps. 34:7, 8). In His Blessings, Bianca |
