Day 11 Fasting: Unshakable and Assurance in Times of Trouble
As I meditate and reflect on God's presence and his awesomeness, God revealed in my spirit that no matter what comes and goes, we as His people will always be look after in times of trouble . As we continue to learn and trust God, He will fight our battles and give us the victory everytime.
Proverbs 24:15,16 says, "Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief."
The Message Bible says it best, "Don’t interfere with good people’s lives; don’t try to get the best of them.
16 No matter how many times you trip them up, God-loyal people don’t stay down long; Soon they’re up on their feet, while the wicked end up flat on their faces.
Wow! What a Word of encouragement knowing that you 'can't hold a good man or woman down' no matter how hard you try! As we trust God, we become unshakable and assured at the salvation of our God! John 16:33 says,
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Of course, the Message Bible really brings it home,
33 I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world."
So be of good cheer today, the battle is not your own, it belongs to the Lord. Enter into His rest and resolve to be unshakable and assured while allowing God's word to be the final authority in your lives and in your situation.
