Fiveamprayer, we have to ask ourselves a tough question this morning. Are we relying in our own ability or trusting in the Lord God King of the Universe, Yahweh? He is the one in control of all things! He sees all and knows all? So what has our focus? Are we looking to Him, the Almighty One or our situation? We have many things that we will face in our refinement and that which is set against us, as His creation. In either case we must hold fast to that which is true, worthy to behold and meditated on. When our focus in our suffering remains self-centered we are not able to move on. We must be in a position of focus on the His ability and knowledge, above our current situation. For that which we face temporary, for His love and care is eternal! What do we do when faced with a tough situation? In all that has happened and can happen--is He still Yahweh? We can see in the book of Job that he would not move off of that position. That in spite of his friends accusing him, held out that he was blameless and would not speak against the Lord his God. That in the end he would be vindicated and upheld. Can we do the same? Hold fast to His word and stand on it in the face of those who are near and dear accuse us?
When facing terrible pain and dire circumstances we could loose focus but will we know that He holds our entire lives in His hands? This suffering is for but a moment and that His purposes will be fulfilled. What we are facing could be to find if we would trust Him or gives us an experience to see His awesome power, deliver us out. Over time in this situation will you remain on His word as at the beginning of this test? How else do you prove the value of precious metals? By setting them to a high heat to find if there is any dross mixed in that is revealed at high heat. Will the precious still remain after the high heat is applied? Yes, because of that heat the dross or impurities that were not able to be seen can now be removed. Because Yahweh has delivered you to the other side, you have the testimony of what He has done, that He is well able to deliver you out and you know that He can do it again. That is why we can ask for an encore! For this shows our trust that He is in control and able to deliver us out by our previous experiences! Without these experiences how would we know personally for ourselves that He delivers and is very capable in all situations? True there are some testimonies that you will hear and know from others, but Yahweh wants you to know of His power for yourself. The care and protection that He affords us lets us know that we will not be destroyed in the refining or the attacks that come to try to dissuade us. For He came in the flesh to redeem us to Himself--there is no benefit to Him, for us being destroyed. This is all to build up our trust and strength, Fiveamprayer! Stand on the entirety of His word and look to Him and not the situation--where is your focus? To hear more of this mornings message click here.
