So, what is the key to stopping this from happening? Faith. I truly believe that our lack of peace in times of trials comes from our fundamental belief in God. As we seen in both Job and Horatio’s experience, both losing just about everything they had in horrible circumstances, they were able to respond with an unwavering trust that God’s ways are good and right. They were able to declare with absolute certainty that the Lord’s will is best and they will accept His purpose.
– Do you have a humble enough spirit to admit weakness to the Lord and to embrace His gracious correction?
– Is His grace sufficient enough for you to be secure in your salvation, or do you feel that you have to try to add to His complete work of salvation?
– Have you praised the Lord today for being faithful to you? Will you now?
There are times that I say something similar to that of a father desperate to see God’s intervention in his son’s life, “Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief!” (see Mark 9:24). I don’t feel like there is anything more I can do to make myself believe more! I trust, I seek, I plead, and still the solution seems to illusive to me. This is where faith needs to take place, believing in the unseen at work in what I can see!
The reason we sing Hosanna today is because we acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, and we cry out to Him from dependent hearts that want to see Him revive our land forever! We are thirsty for God’s presence to wipe away the fears, sins, chaos, etc., from our hearts, and to see Him establish His rule and reign on this earth now and forevermore! We sing to Jesus, the Hosanna of our lives, the One mighty to Save us, the One making us new, because He is worthy of all our praises!
There is an unlimited number of counterfeit fortresses that promise safety for us, but the Lord our God is our only true refuge in times of trouble. He will never fail us when we seek refuge in His name. He is Jealous for us, a consuming fire, and the Righteous Judge that reigns supreme over all of our foes! Seek refuge in his Name today! Keep your eyes fixed upon Him for the help you need today.
There are times throughout our day when we get tempted to think that we are alone, inadequate, defeated, etc., but through the Bible we can see that God is with us in all things and fighting for us at all times. He is greater than any problems that we could ever face! He is mighty and strong to save! There is no reason to fear when we have God with us – He will never fail us!
