The Lord is Not Slack Concerning His Promise!!
2 Pet. 3: 9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Isaiah 40:29-31 "He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."
Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Matt. 11:28-29 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold! I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me." (Isaiah 49:15-16).
According to the above promise given by God who never lies, He will never forget you. Though a woman may forget her sucking child, He has graven you on the palms of His hands and all your tears are continually before Him.
Know today that the Lord has heard your prayers. Please read Luke 18:1 - 8 about the evil judge, who feared neither God nor man, ultimately dispensing justice to the widow in distress.
Do not faint but keep praying till God answers your prayer. If even an evil judge can be worn down like that, don't you think that God will surely give justice to His people who plead with Him day and night? (Vs.7)
Everything that is happening in your life is not accidental but is allowed of God with some specific purpose. God wants to take the pearl out of you through this furnace of afflictions.
In everything, give thanks unto the Lord as this is the secret of Christian life. God will change all the adverse circumstances that surround you today.
All things work together for your good only (Rom.8:28). Maybe, these present troubles that you undergo are from your spouse or owing to some hurdles placed by the Devil in your life. Ultimately, you will be the over-comer through Christ Jesus.
The Lord is today teaching us longsuffering which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. When you pass through the furnace of afflictions only, you may learn longsuffering.
King David prayed to the Lord, "Everyone that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found; surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him" (Ps.32:6).
As you face this situation in your home, do not faint in your prayer-life. Surely, the Lord will give you a breakthrough if you do not faint and will persevere. The Lord will deliver you.
"The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they know thy Name will put their trust in thee; for thou, Lord, has not forsaken them that seek thee" (Ps.8:9-10). "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread" (Ps.37:25).
Be careful and watch out for attacks from the Devil, our great enemy. As a roaring lion, he is walking about to devour you. But stand firm and resist him in the Name of Jesus Christ when he attacks your faith life. The more he attacks your faith, the more you should trust the Lord.
Remember that others are going through the same circumstance you are now facing. After you have suffered a little while, our God, who is full of kindness, will give you His eternal glory. He will pick you up and set you firmly in a high place and make you stronger than ever (I Pet.5). Cast all your worries on Jesus Christ who cares for you and your loved ones.
