AFTER THE FIRE...

There are times when I’m almost overwhelmed by the courage many of us exhibit during trials...especially long trials that seem to go on forever. But you and I both know that tribulations don’t 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, KJV). God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. Like a prisoner who is suddenly released, “daylight” can be quite a shock. In fact, we may even have trouble. Believe it; it’s true! This can cause sleeplessness as we lie awake praying, “Lord, is this breakthrough of me? 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 our mind that this goodness is of Him. Listen to the words of David as he said,"For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

(Psalm 66:10-12, KJV). Yes, there is life – rich, abundant life after the fire! Believe in what God wants to do for us once the raging waters have ceased...DON'T LOSS HOPE IN EVERY MORNING THERE IS NEW SUNRISE...GOD IS FAITHFUL...
