DOES YOUR ROOF LEAK? READ: PSALM 66: 8-16 IN A BOOK WRITTEN IN 1696, I found these statements: Sharp afflictions are to the soul as a soaking rain to the house. We know not there are such holes in the roof till the shower comes, ad then we see it drop down here and there. Perhaps we do not know that there were such unmortified cuts in our soul till the storms of affliction came, then we found unbelief, impatience, and fear dropping down in many places. How true! Affliction tests us and proves what sort of Christians we are. If there are defects in our spiritual armor, they will show up under the strain and pressure of trouble. When the floodgates of distress are opened, it is then we echo with understanding the words of the psalmist, who exclaimed, Save me, Oh God, for the waters have come up to my neck. (Psalm 69:1). Yet we need not fear, for it is our loving Father who allows the waters to come, not to drown us but to cleanse us and help us to see where our life needs repairing. Have you been through a storm? Have you been disturbed, irritated, faithless, fearful, or rebellious? Consider that God may have put you through this difficulty to reveal your spiritual needs. By prayer, faith, and yielding to the Holy Spirit, repair the leaky roof. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FRIDAY IN CHRIST! JESSICA MARIE J. PAULINO....
