Psalm 7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
God looks deep within the mind and heart of humanity. He is the one that gets us ready for life. He does so by probing for our soft spots and knocking off the rough edges of our character. The probing and pounding doesn’t feel so good, but when the final work is done then we can stand before God with a character that portrays a clean, pure, and cared-for quality. When He says “It is finished…and it is good”, then we stand in His presence (and the presence of man) with the stamp of God’s approval.
God ends the work of evil when we are willing to be worked on, and He defends the righteous when trouble comes knocking. We are made right and kept right for His appearing only because of our willingness to stay in His hands, allowing the work that HE is willing to do in and to us. God in solemn honor does things right. He’s always right. It’s our job to stay in HIS hand. Only then can we be made to feel fit and so safe in HIS presence.
Yes, the work He does doesn’t always feel good to the flesh, but His work is a work that has a far exceeding greater outcome than we can ever imagine.
I’m so thankful He’s still willing to work on me, aren’t you? :-D
