We Are Coming Out Of This!

Coming: arrive, arise, approach
Out: exhaustion, or completion

At some point, everybody is going to go through some trouble in this life. Haven't experienced any troubles yet? Keep living. Sometimes the situation can be very troublesome - like an unfavorable report from the doctor or a pink slip at work, a bad addiction, your children going every which way except the right way, or even Covid 19. There may be times when we don't have enough money to make ends meet or there maybe a sick spouse that prevent their partner from going to work. Trouble comes in all sorts of packages. If you don't think so - I'll say it again - just keep living.

II Corinthians 4:17-18 reminds us; "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are not seen are eternal." In other words, we shouldn't focus on what you can see right now - the trouble all around us - but instead we should look forward to the joys in heaven which we have not yet seen. Those troubles will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.

Just like God took you in to it, He will allow you to come out of it.. in due time - HIS time. We will never know our true strength until we go through something. We would never know the magnitude of God's power or His love if we were always on a bed of ease. Fortunately, that's not God's way. No pain, no gain, my friends. That means that whatever we are going through, He will surely bring us out of, in His timing.

We must remember to count it all joy, because when it's too much for us, it's just right for God. Psalms 50:15 says; "I want you to trust me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you, and you can give me glory." (The Living Bible)

With all that said, let the Church say Amen... and AMEN!
