Our faith in God and His word gives us hope, both now and for the future. You might be going through a time of testing or difficulty at this point. However, your faith and confidence in what God has promised you will give you that supernatural peace and strength to stand, overcome and break through any struggles you are currently experiencing. Even King David understood the importance of his faith in God and how God’s goodness could help him in the worst of situations. Psalm 27:13 says: “I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living”. Another version says: “I would have fainted had I not believed.” Yes, the journey can sometimes seem overwhelming, but you have something on the inside that is ready to “kick-in” and help you. God’s goodness is right there with you and you WILL see His goodness in the land of the living. It’s not time to give up; It’s time to fire up and boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me (Hebrews 13:6)?”
He sets us on the rock!
We are all subject to the scourge of sin. It is embedded in our Adamic nature. However, by God’s love and grace, He made a way for us to be delivered from this sin nature. Psalm 107:20 (EHV) says: “He sent his word and healed them. He rescued them from the pits that trapped them.” As we listen to the news, we can clearly see that there are multitudes of people that are in a pit of some kind. Whether it is addictions, poverty, sickness, disease or something similar, we all need to be delivered from the pit that the enemy has prepared for us. The Psalmist knew what it was to be delivered from a pit: “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps” (Psalm 40:2). He also revealed to us that God sent His Word and healed us. Jesus is the living word of God! He has also sent us His written word. The enemy might say to you that there is no hope, but God’s word declares that in Christ, we have eternal hope. Hebrews 10:23 says: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”. Today, God is still healing and rescuing those who are trapped in a pit! If you are currently in a pit, cry out to God. He will deliver you and set you upon a rock and establish your steps!
