PERSEVERE IT!

"The sacrifices of God are broken spirit". Psalm 51:17. My friend, have you ever tried to make sense out of suffering? Why do bad things happen to good people? How my God could possibly let "THIS" happen to us? Why me, why me, my God why me? Every thinking person grapples with these question of life and believers are not exception. Sometimes God allows us to hit the bottom in order to discover that He's the rock at the bottom. God has to break Jacob of self-sufficiency so the "ISRAEL" within him could come out. My friend, sometimes God has to take you down before He can raise you up. Moses was called the meekest man on earth. But it took forty years of living as a shepherd in the wilderness to detox him of his pride and get him submitted to God. Only then he was qualified to stand before Pharoah and perform miracles that demonstrated God's power- and vindicated Moses. No matter what kind of injustice and pain we may face, we need to know: Our Lord Jesus Christ is totally sovereign over the affairs of men. He is never caught be surprise. He is never caught on dilemma. He is in total control of every thing that comes into our lives. He never makes mistake. Whatever He does is right whether we can understand it or not. Brokenness really is the prerequisite to true strength and stature. Psalm 34:18 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". I know it is difficult my friend. Like Joseph "may be you are in a pit but you are on the way to palace. PERSEVERE IT BUDDY!
