We are instructed to praise Him in the Storm! In the very midst of heartache, troubles and calamity. This is where our alms derive equity and power.
Its very easy to give thanks after something has favorably been turned in your direction. God wants to see our faith and our commitment to Him no matter how the circumstances may appear. He can turn any bad event right around and can just as easily pull forward a blessing from the worst of situations.
I like to call it, ‘saying the truth in advance’. Example. “Thank you Father that you go before me in all matters, including this one, and that this is all part of the plan to bring to me what is needed. Nothing escapes Your eye, and no good thing shall be withheld. I praise You Lord that I am not forgotten, I am not ashamed and I am not alone. You are my rock, my fortress, my deliver, my strong tower and my provider.”
It is possible, and most often very much the case, that our situation is a perfect set up, a scenario and a backdrop for those who grab front row seats to watch us squirm. Well, God has the final say so, and the Holy Spirit uses some situations to deliver powerful testimonies of unbelievable proportions to the reprobate. Those individuals who have been turned over to themselves, with their sins and their rebellion. There is no guarantee that your miraculous event will convert them, but that’s not your issue to worry over. You are either a witness against or a witness to. How awesome though to be used for His glory and quite possibly someone’s salvation.
It is my opinion that anyone who is seeking to gain access to the front row of my demise out to put in for a refund asap, and that means you, lucifer!
The bigger the problem the grander the miracle. God does not orchestrate the foibles but He does promise to use them, someway, somehow to our advantage. We must just know and trust that as fact. The devils only power to hurt God is to somehow hurt us. We see in scripture though, that even when that happens, God remands the devil to pay seven times greater for our losses.
God, You are so good to us, its astounding. Such provision, such sacrifice and all for our benefit. As unworthy as we are, You are so merciful. Oh how you must Love us!
Heavenly Father, I pray and plead the blood of the lamb protection over me and mine, over you and yours and over everyone connected to this and through this. Thank you Lord that You send Your servant forward, in a multitude of ways. That You also draw those to Your will and way daily. Thank you Lord that the Holy Spirit is speaking to someone right now, assuring them that this is not over and that even though it seems grim, it is not the final curtain call. This is simply the stage set for a Grand Miracle of epic design. Praise it forward and Lord, take all the credit, while winning souls for the Kingdom! AMEN
