Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon the earth that I desire besides thee. 26 My flesh and my heat faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. KJV
When we are in trials of sorts, the way God can minister to us is, if we let go tottally of our own ways. To surrender in total bliss to the Master will lead us to the continued ways of Him. In that way, then will we be walking in His perfect will. Even though the plane crash on the Hudson, in New York was a miracle, it was only because of the hand of God that kept them safe. In the picture, you see, the passengers, all 153, safe. This is awesome, as the people standing out on the wing of the airplane floating on the Hudson River, are safe regardless of the water on both sides of them. The frigid waters of winter surround them. In our trials too, as we encounter, we are only safe in the arms of the LORD.
It is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the LORD GOD, that I may declare all thy works. Psalm 73:28
When we draw near to God, and put our trust in Him, He will sustain us, and bring us through. For many times myself personally, as even now, I have to lean on Him almost minute by minute. The good fight of faith, has to be reality in our walk with the LORD. If not, we will fall short of the glory of God. The water on each side of us is very frigid, cold that you would not survive if one fell in. God is so good, that when we are in HIM... we are tottally engulfed in His refuge. It says in Psalm 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my step had well nigh slipt.
When those trials are on us, we must not look at the water around us, but stay steady in the LORD, in the Word He gives us. This will be a surety of our safety net to bring us to safe ground, wraped in the arms of His love. Trials are difficult, but He is with those who look to Him. Let us keep our total attention on the One whom made us, to bring us to the next place, He calls us to be. To also keep to His Word, and proclaim the promise He gives us.
Then notice,
Job 23:10 But He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. KJV
Praise God !!!!
