Remember God’s Goodness
Many saints of God are going through very difficult times. Many prayers seem to go unanswered. There’s some in a “testing” season, some in a trial of their faith, some in situations they’ve never experienced before. Some wonder, why isn’t God moving? Or how much longer Lord before l see a light at the end of this tunnel. Saints are weary, tired, some discouraged, and wonder why. Many who are sick and diseased pray earnestly for healing, and they continue to grow worse. This is the opportune time that satan will show up and try to get at our faith. We have to be diligent that we don’t get bitter against God because he hasn’t brought healing yet, or relief from troubles. If we are not watching and praying, and guarding our heart, satan will catch us at our weakest point to snare us. His greatest desire is to turn us away from God and destroy our faith. We need to recognize the wiles of the enemy that he doesn’t get the upper hand, and we need to guard our heart against this flesh nature that gets easily agitated, and angry at times, that we don’t bring a railing accusation against God. Satan doesn’t care how long we have been serving God, if he can cause us to doubt, turn back, get angry and bitter, then he’s done his job well. He will try to convince us that God has forsaken us, that He’s left us in our darkest hour, or doesn’t care what happens to us. Don’t give place to the devil, don’t let your flesh override your faith and love for God. Remember His goodness towards you. Remember all the times He stood with you, his faithfulness, his mercy!
Even times He could have left us in the mess we made ourselves, but He helped us.
Psalm 31:19; How Great, is thy goodness, which you have laid up for them, that fear you, which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men.
Psalm 27:13; I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Nahum 1:7; The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knows them that trust in him.
Sometimes God allows things to come in our life to bring us totally dependent on Him.
And God allows things to reveal to us what we still need to get out of our heart.
God allows things to come, to make us stronger, because He’s raising up soldiers that will stand for the Truth. In your pain and struggles, in battles, in trouble and trials, remember He’s good.
Watch and pray, guard your heart against anything that tries to turn you from God. He is your help and hope! Remember at all times the goodness of God.
God bless.
