HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH

The older I get, the more I realize the truth in this statement: “Into each life, some rain must fall.” All of us must face some heartache, some pain, and struggle. It’s a part of this thing we call life. Frederick Douglas said, “Without struggle, there can be no progress.” The Bible in the book of James 1:2-4 says: “My friends be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble. You know you learn to endure by having your faith tested. But you must learn to endure everything, so you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything.”

So if trials and tribulations are a part of life then we need to realize, know and believe that our HEAVENLY FATHER, OUR CREATOR, AND SUSTAINER OF LIFE, OUR GOD OF LOVE knows all about it. So if GOD brings you to it, He will surely bring you through it, and He will use it to do three positive things.

First, He will use it to strengthen your faith. Our faith and our spiritual growth are developed when we are tested. Strong faith is the main thing that we need to please GOD. Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith, it is impossible to please GOD because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

Second, trials and tribulations allow us to be a witness. They give us a testimony. They give us a word for the LORD. You see, how can you say He is a healer if you have never been sick. How can you say He is a deliverer if you have never been in trouble? Yes, our struggles allow us to tell others with the conviction that GOD is real. Yes, He is!

Thirdly, our trials and tribulations give GOD the opportunity to show Satan His power divine. It makes the enemy realize that we belong to GOD and no weapon formed against us shall prosper. Can I get a witness? The battle is not ours but the LORDS. The struggle causes GOD to make our enemies our footstool. So beloved when you are going through remember He will carry and bring you through. You will come forth as pure gold.

The old saints taught me a song that goes like this, if you know it sing it with me, “We are our heavenly Fathers’ children, and we all know that He loves us one and all; Yet there are times when we find we answer another’s voice and call. If we are willing, He will teach us, His voice only to obey no matter where, and He knows, Yes He knows, Just how much we can bear. Tho’ the load gets heavy; You’re never left alone to bear it all. Ask for the strength and keep on toiling though the teardrops fall. You have the joy of this assurance: The Heavenly Father will always answer prayer, and He knows, Yes He knows just how much you can bear.”
