HOLDING ON TIL GOD GETS BACK TO YOU
Have you ever found yourself in a trial that was not just for you. Married couples, Parents, anyone that is connected with another person. Sometime we go through the trial with others. Understand you will be blessed and learn something also,for a trial is to deepen our faith. But we don't know how long it is going to take the person that the trial is really intended for to come through or even how they will go through the trial.
Are they doing it in their flesh, in their own strength, are they screaming and kicking, clueless or have they surrendred and allowed God to do what He needs to do in them.
Well that is not really our concern, we have to let God deal with that. But we have to steadfast and hold on to God, and remember God got this. He will send us encouragement, strength and a support system while we waite. And unless God tells you to help or say something to the person we will have to close our mouth. not argueing with the person, tring to get them to see and hurry through this trial so it can hurry up and be over.
Let's remember what James said, James 1:2-4 When face with a trial of any kind consider it nothing but joy3because you know that the testing of faith produces endurance4and let endurance have it's full effect, so that you maybe mature and complete, lacking in nothing.
And isn't this what we want for our loved ones as well as for oursleves. Jame also tells us when we are faced with a trial to turn our hardship into a time of learning.
So you see we also benefite from a trial purposed for our loved ones.
The good news is, you're not out there alone, because no matter what the source of this trial is, God has the situation well in hand. He will work out His purposes even in a trial you may bring on yourself.
Be encouraged, surround yourself with other believers for inspiration, encouragement, spiritual strength and support while we wait.
This is a good time for us to show the love of Christ, 1Corinthians 13:4-8, Love suffers long [and] is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
13:5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
13:6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
13:8 Love never fails. But whether [there are] prophecies, they will fail; whether [there are] tongues, they will cease; whether [there is] knowledge, it will vanish away.
I pray this encourages someone, it's something I'm helping a loved one through,and this is what I'm learning.
