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)?”
It came to pass, not to stay!
We all experience attacks from the enemy. This is part of the Christian experience. The Lord Jesus once said: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). The good thing is that the scriptures reveal these times of persecution, tribulation and testing are only for a season. Psalm 30:5 says: “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” Seasons of testing have an expiration date. When Satan tested Jesus, he left him after he had tested Him: Luke 4: 12-13 “And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.” So if you are in the middle of a trial, a test or in the desert, be reminded today that it is not permanent. Remember that He told us to be of good cheer because He already overcame the world, and now we have the spirit of the overcomer within us. With His help, you will come out on the other side victorious and with a great testimony!
