1111 你會度過這一切
大衛是一個合我心意的人,一個對自己的感受坦誠的人。他知道我不會因他的疑問而覺得被冒犯。他雖經歷過試煉和痛苦,卻在戰場上發現我與他同在。正是在巨大的敵對之中,他開始認識到我的信實;但這並不意味着他從未偶爾質疑過我的信實。
當你與我一起面對試煉時,你的品格和韌性就在這些你遇到的試煉中被鍛造出來。就像鑽石的美誕生於壓力之中,你的美也要從那些彷彿在擠壓你的試煉中顯現出來。對我坦誠是應該的,我能接受。你的信心經過試驗,信靠就生髮出來。只有當你需要我作為你的救主介入時,你才真正明白什麼是得救。仇敵以為牠正用各種難題把你淹沒,其實牠是在給我一個絕佳的機會介入,並證明我的信實。親愛的,我知道目前感覺很難,但你會度過這一切,閃耀着我榮耀的光輝。
對焦慮和恐懼的人說:“要剛強,永遠不要害怕。看哪,你的神來了!祂正衝破(障礙)而來,是要把勝利賜給你!祂來對你的仇敵施行報復。祂帶着神聖的報應而來,為要拯救你!”——以賽亞書 35:4
1111 You will get through this
David was a man after my heart–a man who was honest about how he felt. He knew I wouldn’t be offended by his questions. He went through trials and pain, but found me on the battlefield with him. It was out of tremendous opposition that he came to know my faithfulness. But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t occasionally question it.
Your character and resilience are forged from the trials you face, when you face them with me. Like a diamond whose beauty is birthed out of pressure, so is your beauty coming forth from the trials that feel like they’re squeezing you. It’s okay to be honest with me. I can handle it. Out of the testing of your faith, trust is born. It’s only when you need me to step in as your Savior that you truly understand what it is to be saved. The enemy thinks he’s drowning you with problems, when, really, he’s presenting the perfect opportunity for me to step in and prove my faithfulness. Beloved, I know it feels hard right now, but you will come through this shining with the brilliance of my glory.
Say to the anxious and fearful, “Be strong and never afraid. Look, here comes your God! He is breaking through to give you victory! Не comes to avenge your enemies. With divine retribution he comes to save you!” –ISAIAH 35:4
