When a shipbuilder erects a boat, does he do so only to keep in the scaffolding? No, he builds it to sail the seas and to weather the storms. In fact, if he does not think of strong winds and hurricanes as he builds it, he is a poor shipbuilder.
In the same way, when God made you a believer, He meant to test you. And when He gave you promises and asked you to trust them, He made His promises suitable for times of storms and high seas.
Some people treat God's promises as something to be displayed in a museum. But we should use them as everyday sources of comfort. And whenever you have a time of need, trust the Lord. He keeps His promises!
God's will is the most hopeful, pleasant, and glorious thing in the world. It is the continuous working of His omnipotent power for our benefit, with nothing to prevent it, if we remain surrendered and believing.
Isn't it glorious to know that no matter how unjust something may be, even when it seems to have come from Satan himself, by the time it reaches us it is God's will for us and will ultimately work to our good?
Where would our faith be if not for the trials that test it; or patience; without anything to endure or experience and without tribulations to developed it?
God will make our obstacles serve His purposes. Our obstacles are God's mountains. He puts them there for a reason, and we know He will never fail to keep His promise.
Blessings,
Dalinda
