This season of hardship and uncertainty will become no more than a distant memory!

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14 NKJV

Are you facing difficult circumstances? If you are not I am sure you know someone who is. Habakkuk faced the same issues we face today.

If God is in control of everything why do bad things happen to good people? Why are so many people suffering? How could our lives be transformed so quickly? The Lord is not offended when we ask questions. Turning to God for answers is an act of faith!

We would not turn to God for answers if we did not believe He is in control of all things. We would not seek His wisdom if we did not believe God knows all things. There would be no confusion if we did not believe God loves us.

The Christian life is often described as a fight because it can be a struggle to maintain our faith during difficult circumstances. It is described as a run because we need the stamina only Jesus can provide to endure the afflictions and sorrows that beset us!

We must focus on what we know when we are faced with uncertainty.

God loves you. God is for you and not against you. He will never turn His back on you. He will never leave you. He will be with you every step of the way as you follow Jesus!

Our circumstances do not change God’s character. The Lord is just as faithful in times of trial and turmoil as He is when we stroll along the mountain tops of peace and blessing!

Jesus does not expect us to stuff our feelings or pretend all is well when it is not.

God wants you to bring everything to Him in prayer. He wants you to be thankful even when you think you do not have much to be thankful for. Our faith will bear fruit. We will spend eternity with Jesus. We will know the reality of unrestrained and unending Joy!

Our trials and suffering will become no more than a distant memory. The old things will fade into oblivion. All things will be made new. That includes us. Our perfect glorified bodies will match our spiritual state. We will worship God in the beauty of Holiness!

The Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God. There will be no more crying death or sorrow. We will witness with our own eyes the fruit of our faith in Jesus!

Trust Jesus with your trials and hardships. Trust Jesus with your life!

The faithful will see the great and mighty works Jesus accomplished in us and through us when His glory is revealed!

Set you heart on the glory to come. Follow Jesus. When the earth is filled with the knowledge of God’s glory as the waters cover the sea you will know that you are home!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

This season of hardship and uncertainty will become no more than a distant memory!
