March 20, 2018Protection Through StrengtheningWhile writing to Timothy, Paul was in prison experiencing physical discomfort, personal attack, and desertion. Why would God allow His faithful servant to endure such suffering? Why didn’t the Lord step in and protect him? At times God doesn’t rescue us from suffering because He is providing something better. We may feel as if He’s abandoned us, but in reality, He is protecting us—not by deliverance but through strengthening. When trouble pays you a visit, view it from the Lord’s perspective and ask yourself: • Which is a greater demonstration of God’s power—changing something around me or changing something within my heart? Does the Lord have to fix something in order for you to be happy? If He removes a difficult situation, you may never learn that He truly is sufficient for everything you need. Instead, allow Him to change you, and you’ll discover genuine joy in whatever circumstance may come your way. Bible in One Year: Judges 20-21 |
