God sends us trials or tests, and places life before us as a face-to-face opponent. It is through the pounding of serious conflict that He expects us to grow strong.
Stand firmly in the place where your dear Lord has put you, and do your best there.
Our life is very mysterious, but blessed are those who trust when you cannot understand. It is through pain that God gets the most out of us, for His glory and for the blessings of others.
Our Father, who seeks to perfect His saints in holiness, knows the value of the refiner's fire. For the strongest and greatest character is grown through hardship.
Oh, the burdens we lovingly bear but cannot understand! Oh, the inexpressible longings of our hearts for things we cannot comprehend!
When God sends no answer and the "the cloud remains", we must wait. We must wait when we are face-to-face with a threatening enemy, surrounded by danger and fear, or below an unstable rock. We must remember that He never keeps us at our posts without assuring us of His presence or sending us daily supplies.
God had perfect timing; never early, never late. It takes a little patience and a lot of faith. But it's always worth the wait.
God never alters the robe of righteousness to fit the man, He alters the man to fit the robe.
So trust Him and never push away the instrument He is using or you will miss the result of His work in your life.
Genuine faith is believing and declaring what God has said, stepping out on what appears to be thin air and finding solid rock beneath your feet.
