Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Psalms 66:12, “You have caused men to ride over our heads, we went through fire and through water. But you brought us out to rich fulfillment.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we see the hard times that the people of God had experienced, by the evil powers . It must be understood, that the man of sin, and son of perdition who rides upon the heads of men, exalts himself above all that is called God and has exercised dominion, over the saints in a most lawless and tyrannical manner.
The people of God had to pass through affliction, through fiery trials and over whelming providences. The Bible says, that the children of Israel, endured trials, and afflictions, even the greatest hardship, and difficulties. for the sake of Christ.
After a period of adversity and persecution the Lord will grant rest unto His people. There will be no more persecution, no more fines, imprisonment, and torturing deaths, for the sake of Christ and His gospel. All the churches will be like the well watered place like the land of Canaan. The spirit of God will be poured down like floods of water upon the dry ground. The gospel of God will drop as the rain and as showers upon the grass. It will be a time of great plenty and prosperity, in spiritual things. It will be a place abounding with all good things. At that period of time, the saints will be enriched with every gift and be rich in grace and in all good works.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, are you going through a rough patch of life? Have you lost your dear one? Or is it a financial crisis that you are going through? Are you broken hearted and depressed because of your huge debts? Are you unable to come out of it? Is there no one to help you at all? Is someone hurting you because of jealousy at your work spot, Well remember the Lord God Of Israel is at your side. He says, “As I was with Moses So I will be with you. Be strong and of good courage, I have inscribed you on the palm of My Hand, Your walls are continually before Me. You shall not be ashamed, who wait for Me”. So entrust yourself in the mighty hands of God. He will deliver you from all your struggles, whatever it might be. However huge your problem might be, He is able to save you to the utmost. For our God is bigger than your problem and it is a trivial thing for God to help you whether with many, or with those who have no power.
God bless you.
Prayer :
Our Loving Heavenly Father, We thank you for this blessed day. Thank you so much for revealing to us that after adversity the Lord will grant rest unto His people. We need that rest in order to be at peace in our family, work spot, business, and everywhere we go. We believe in you, as you have inscribed us on the palm of your hands and you encourage us to be strong and courageous. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
