1111 你会度过这一切
大卫是一个合我心意的人,一个对自己的感受坦诚的人。他知道我不会因他的疑问而觉得被冒犯。他虽经历过试炼和痛苦,却在战场上发现我与他同在。正是在巨大的敌对之中,他开始认识到我的信实;但这并不意味着他从未偶尔质疑过我的信实。
当你与我一起面对试炼时,你的品格和韧性就在这些你遇到的试炼中被锻造出来。就像钻石的美诞生于压力之中,你的美也要从那些仿佛在挤压你的试炼中显现出来。对我坦诚是应该的,我能接受。你的信心经过试验,信靠就生发出来。只有当你需要我作为你的救主介入时,你才真正明白什么是得救。仇敌以为牠正用各种难题把你淹没,其实牠是在给我一个绝佳的机会介入,并证明我的信实。亲爱的,我知道目前感觉很难,但你会度过这一切,闪耀着我荣耀的光辉。
对焦虑和恐惧的人说:“要刚强,永远不要害怕。看哪,你的神来了!祂正冲破(障碍)而来,是要把胜利赐给你!祂来对你的仇敌施行报复。祂带着神圣的报应而来,为要拯救你!”——以赛亚书 35:4
1111 You will get through this
David was a man after my heart–a man who was honest about how he felt. He knew I wouldn’t be offended by his questions. He went through trials and pain, but found me on the battlefield with him. It was out of tremendous opposition that he came to know my faithfulness. But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t occasionally question it.
Your character and resilience are forged from the trials you face, when you face them with me. Like a diamond whose beauty is birthed out of pressure, so is your beauty coming forth from the trials that feel like they’re squeezing you. It’s okay to be honest with me. I can handle it. Out of the testing of your faith, trust is born. It’s only when you need me to step in as your Savior that you truly understand what it is to be saved. The enemy thinks he’s drowning you with problems, when, really, he’s presenting the perfect opportunity for me to step in and prove my faithfulness. Beloved, I know it feels hard right now, but you will come through this shining with the brilliance of my glory.
Say to the anxious and fearful, “Be strong and never afraid. Look, here comes your God! He is breaking through to give you victory! Не comes to avenge your enemies. With divine retribution he comes to save you!” –ISAIAH 35:4
