Let us not be afraid. Do not despair in the face of failures, trials, handicaps, delays, or deserts that we are going through. They are powerful tools in the hands of Yehovah to speak to the hearts of His children and to shape us, to transform us.
Your family today needs to hear the voice of God who says, “I will not leave you or forsake you” (Joshua 1:5), “I am the Alpha and the Omega” (Revelation 22:13), and “I am still working! My mercies never come to an end; they are renewed every morning” (see Lamentations 3.23). “When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I Yehovah will answer them; I the Elohim - God of Israel will not forsake them” (Isaiah 41:17).
Let's not limit our God and our Father Yehovah. Instead, let's look at how many men and women in the Bible; Abraham, Moses, David, Gideon, Joseph, Peter, Paul, Mary, Sarah, Esther; were shaped, comforted, transformed, and used by Yehovah despite lives strewn with trials and failures from which they, enabled by Yehovah's power, recovered.
“My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off. Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous; do no violence to his home; for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity” (Proverbs 24:13-16).
This week, remember that regardless of how many times your knee bends, our God and Father Yehovah will lift you up. In suffering lies great good for us and our children, both now and in the future.
