"If the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us, 3 then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us. 4 Then the water would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us; 5 the raging water would have swept over us." Psalm 124:2-5 CSB
Some people have trouble after trouble; sickness after sickness, when others seem to have nothing like this happen to them. You may say, it is the luck of the draw. However, there is no luck in the kingdom of heaven, it is called faith. Many people go through great testing times and I believe it is because God has great things for them to do. If they can handle the flak, they are more likely to be able to stand against what comes their way. That doesn't mean that the others are not chosen for great tasks; it is how you measure what is great and don't forget, God knows our hearts and therefore can tell who will be useful on the front line, while the others form a defence. It is like a chess game, there are the ones who attack the opposite side and there are others who do the defending.
Whether you are an attacker or a defender, you will have to be able to stand on faith when the going gets tough. This is why David encourages us all to remember the victories you have had in the past; those times when you felt you would faint but, at the last minute God turned up and changed the situation. If the Israelites had not have had the faith to cross the Red Sea, Pharaoh's army would have slaughtered them or, they would have drowned in the raging waters.
With God, there is always a way out. You may feel trapped by overwhelming odds, but, with God there is always an escape route. You have nothing to fear. What you're facing at this time may feel really scary, but remember how He helped you before, He'll do it again. You're too precious for Him to ignore! No problem is beyond His reach and He will make a way where there is no way if He has to.
You will see; and when you're through this obstacle, you will have another testimony of what God did for you. Praise Him for this fact and for the knowledge, that you will be able to help someone else in similar situation in the future.
Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen
