There ARE signs of *GOD'S* amazing presence in our lives, EVERY WHERE, we only need to seek HIM, and, we will see them! You see, when you allow yourself to be sucked into the vacuum of negativity, you will fail to notice *GOD*, as, you are too busy experiencing the suction of the negatives!!!Thus, we are to EVER keep our sights upon the LIGHT, and, to have FAITHFUL TRUST in *GOD*, that HIS messages, and, HIS signs, are readily noticed, so, we ARE enabled to endure whatever is brought our way!!!
I understand, believe me, that life brings forth some, very harsh conditions, and, yet, HE says if we are FAITHFUL, we can endure! I know, sometimes it seems impossible to bear with what life hurls our way, but, the PROVEN DO endure! You know, and, I know, we, always, get through things! Somehow, even when the straits, are, extremely, dire, we survive, by the GRACE of *GOD*, and, we, make it; often, having learned, from the experience, and, are, all the stronger!!!
David was one such person; he, no matter what, even being, alone, in the desert, facing great danger, kept his being, focused upon *GOD*, constantly, and, consistently, communing with HIM, praying, rejoicing, praising, even, crying to HIM, and, *GOD* took great compassion upon HIM; all the while, HE was teaching him, and, refining him. David never gave up on *GOD*, and, *GOD* never gave up on David, it was a true relationship, marked by a humans ability to stand steadfast in his LOVE for *GOD*, evidenced, by, his unrelenting FAITH in HIM!!!
Don't let the tears of your sorrow, become as a river, which will drown, your FAITH! It is human to react, but, it is against *GOD*, to allow what you are facing to have precedence OVER HIM, or, your FAITH! When we are FAITHFUL, we BELIEVE in HIM, to the point, of being ABLE, to endure, for we KNOW, that HE is working on our behalf, and, will lead us, to overcoming/surviving! To FEEL the weight of something MORE than you feel *GOD*, is to live outside of HIM! To give in to what is occurring, is to lessen your oneness with HIM, which means, your FAITH is NOT strong enough, and, so, your FOCUS, during, ANY bad time, should be ON *GOD*, and, the STRENGTHENING of your FAITH, that you are TRUE in heart, when you cry out to HIM!!!
TRUST in *GOD*, alone, for there is NO OTHER SOURCE for your well-being, healing, safety, or, happiness! HE, is your SOLE PROVISION! HE, only, can free you from your worldly sufferings! YOUR part is to hone your FAITH to such TRUTH, that, it is NOT shakable during the quakes of events, in your life!!!
PSALMS 146...
1/ Hallelujah!
2/ Praise the LORD, my soul; I shall praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live.
3/ I Put no trust in princes, in mere mortals powerless to save.
4/ When they breathe their last, they return to the earth; that day all their planning comes to nothing.
5/ Happy those whose help is Jacob's God, whose hope is in the LORD, their God,
6/ The maker of heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, Who keeps faith forever,
7/ secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free;
8/ the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.
9/ The LORD protects the stranger, sustains the orphan and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked.
10/ The LORD shall reign forever, your God, Zion, through all generations! Hallelujah!
Affliction TESTS the FAITHFUL, no doubt, and, I have noticed that, many, who claim to have FAITH, wane, waiver, and, weaken, in their FAITH, especially, if the duration of suffering, exceeds their expectations! This is the work of iniquity, and, surely, removes you from GRACE, as, FAITH should be honed to withstand the mightiest of assaults upon you, for that is, how *GOD* WILLS it to be! Thus, IN times of great affliction, this is time to HONE your FAITH, CLING to your FAITH, and, ALLOW your FAITH to deliver you, for, *GOD*, ALONE, IS YOUR DELIVERER, therefore, do NOT allow, even, your sufferings to shake your FAITH! BELIEVE, and, endure! YES, it IS difficult, but, that IS THE WAY!!!
NEVER give IN to suffering, NEVER give up, NEVER allow what is taking place to have dominion OVER your LOVE, and, TRUST of *GOD*! HOLD ON! RESIST your emotions, by, FOCUSING UPON VICTORY THROUGH YOUR SAVIOUR, *GOD*, for this, IS the only way to overcome!!!
HALLELUJAH! PRAISE *GOD*, for HE, ALONE, IS my SOURCE of everything; my ROCK, my DELIVERER, my FORTRESS, my HOPE, my SALVATION!!!
