There are times when Im almost overwhelmed by the courage many of you exhibit during trials...especially long trials that seem to go on forever. But you and I both know that tribulations dont go on forever. Sooner or later, the raging fire or the deep waters come to an end and the Lord...brings out those who are bound into prosperity...(Psalm 68:6, NASV). Then, you may have a new challenge - adjusting to living with an outpouring of blessings! Like a prisoner who is suddenly released, daylight can be quite a shock. In fact, you may even have trouble. Believe it; its true! This can cause sleeplessness as you lie awake praying, Lord, is this breakthrough of You? Do I dare take this promotion or is it a trap? Could this really be happening? If so, why after all this time? Let the Lord relieve your mind that this goodness is of Him. Listen to the words of David as he said, For You, O God, have proved us; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, But You brought us out to rich fulfillment (Psalm 66:10-12, NKJV). Yes, there is life - rich, abundant life after the fire! Believe in what God wants to do for you once the raging waters have ceased.
