The situations I have found myself in, are things that are common to
all men, it’s how I choose to handlle the situation that makes all the
difference. 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be
able to bear it. Do I fall in with the ever
growing crowd, or do I do proper justice, according to God’s Word?
Tests, sometimes exist as a measure of God, showing us our faults or
weaknesses that need to be changed, sort of the trying by God in Psalm
139 and sometimes that revelation doesn’t come until change has taken
effect. It is a hateful thing to be tried and found guilty, then judged
by those who are not your peers, but it goes on and like Job was
allowed to be tested by satan through God’s approval, so it goes on
today. Like Job, so called friends, supposed brothers and sisters in
will talk about you for what things are going on in your life, as if
they have some super power of judgment, authorized by God. Keep in mind
how Job’s supposed "I’m on your side” friends, deemed Job as a sinner
for the things Job went through. They never came to the realization
that it was an act or allowance of God to prove to satan that Job truly
loved the Lord, while at the same time, ridding Job of his last bit of
pride. If God is still the same, yesterday, today, and forever, then
what makes any of us think we know how God works and what He’s doing? Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. In
today’s church, we have some leadership who establish rules, because
they lean to their own understanding, which not only allow parishoners
to tattle and lie on one another, but actually encourage them to do so.
Why they do not see this is wrong and wrong with God, I cannot answer,
but nonetheless it is true. Many are those that have suffered at the
hands of this effect, but there remains hope for you. We have the right
to go to God and ask Him to send His angels, to shut the mouths of
those who would devour us with their words of ill intent. Dan
6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that
they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in
me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Being
lied about is no fun in it’s experience, but rest assured, God knows
about it and He does not like it, He will shut their mouths and cause
them to be at peace with you. When your actions, your life, your
worship is pleasing to the Lord, you can expect from God and expect the
Word of God to perform what He said. Pro 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. God
always honors His Word above all things, God even holds Himself
accountable to His own Word. We need to have confidence, God will do
exactly what He promised He would do. Take heart, study the Holy
scroptures, know them, quote them and watch and see what, God our Father
will do. God bless you as you step out in faith, with the confidence,
God is faithful to His Word, and may His peace find you fully at rest,
in Jesus name.
