Lamentations 3:24-26 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore, will I hope in Him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
The struggle between faith and unbelief is often very severe. Whatever your trial, you owe it to the mercies of God that they are not worse.
Afflictions do come, but they serve a divine purpose. They enter into our lives for us to search out the good and to bring into our lives the good. God works all things for the good. Affliction in trial makes us humble and truly makes us even more appreciative of the entrance of good things in our life.
Psalm 26:13-14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he will strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
We shall be made happy when we perceive that the afflictions in life only come so that He can work His greater plan in us.
Keep the FAITH and never doubt, He will surely bring you out. Wait for the promises of the Lord. Wait on the Lord.
This world will not last always. Therefore, your life will not last always. As the saying goes, "This too shall pass". So true. Although we know not when, Jesus will soon return, yet He shall return. So live in integrity. Be aware of the deceitfulness of your own heart. Mortify those things that be not like Christ, and exercise repentance and obedience. (these are daily things for me). God knows you better than you know yourself. He knows your down-setting and your up-risings, and what's more, He stands waiting to help you through it all. Be firmly secure in Him even as the ground around you quakes.
God is there to help you. Even better, there is reward awaiting. One day we shall all be changed. No more strife. No more heartache. No more weary mind. Heaven. Soon and very soon, the Bride of Christ is going to rise to meet Him in the air, and we will sing, praise and rejoice forevermore.
I say, "It's worth the wait".
