Sovereignty. We must really grasp and understand that all of our steps are ordered by the Lord – all of our steps. Sometimes like the disciples, we walk straight into a storm. And yes, Jesus may delay coming to us during our time of distress. This is where we need to cling tightly to the Savior. This happens to test and strengthen our faith. He may not come and deliver us for a long time. But doesn’t the waiting make our prayers more powerful? Doesn’t the waiting make the desire for deliverance stronger? And when it comes, don’t we appreciate it more fully? We tend not to take things for granted anymore. We tend not to be so shallow in certain areas of life. Amen?

Are You “Locked Up?”

Are You “Locked Up?”

This sounds very strange, I know, but why don’t you thank God He allowed this circumstance in your life? As hurtful as it may be, know that He has allowed it so He could teach you… the #1 thing you will most probably learn is how to rely on Him. He will allow your crutches to collapse so you turn only to Him. God will give you the exact amount of grace you need to overcome whatever it is you’re up against. God will send you blessings and help, and will reveal truths to you that otherwise would never have come your way. And many others will receive great insights and blessings because you were “locked up.”
