Posted by andreha:I'm going through a hard time in my walk of faith. It's harder than I remember facing in decades. Please pray for the Lord's will, wisdom and guidance... Thank you my dear friends...
I know the feeling! But i also know that God doesn't give up or give in--that He keeps on working!
I am reminded of when Jesus was up against it twice; once when in the wilderness, and again while He was being tried, lashed, and crucified.
the only answer is to not be distracted, but keep on towards your goal, putting one foot in front of the other.
If you are alive then God has something more for you to do, or to learn, or to pass on to someone else.
Every experience that we go thru has it's purpose, but we don't often find that purpose until we are thru.
In the case of Jesus, He went thru the wilderness experince so that He could attone for the sins of Adam, and to show us how to rebuke satan.
Everything He did in His life was for a purpose.
He instituted the Last Supper to prepare His disciples and us for what was to come, uniting us in His blood and His body.
He took the lashes that with His stripes we might be healed of all our infirmaties and diseases.
He took the insults without saying a word, that we might be able to stand under derision, scorn, and hatred.
He took the cross and carried it so that we might be able to take on burdens heaped on us by others.
He took the nails in his hands and feet and the subsequent scars so that we would be able to bear the insults and wounds inflicted upon us.
He took the spear in his side that He might show us His great heart filled with love for us, broken by our sins.
He accepted the tomb of another to show us that death had no hold over Him.
He arose victorious to show us that when we think all is lost, is when the real life begins.
We have a great Saviour indeed!
praying for you.
