Happy Friday. This is the third Friday in this month. It feels like yesterday we greeted one another 'happy new year'. I pray that God will see us through the rest of this year in peace, health and right relationship with Him.
The Lord knows your situation. No matter who you are, no matter your colour or gender. He knows your situation. All you need to do it to depend on that god who knows all things. They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. God expect that whenever we are facing difficult situation, we should come to Him. Whatever we are passing through, he knows the beginning and the end.
When you are in a situation that you enjoy, He knows. If that situation you are enjoying is gotten through wrong means, God knows that it will not last. He is calling you to come to Him so that he will give you everlasting enjoyment.
2nd Kings 14 verse 26 talks about the children of Israel, the people that God cherished so much. They were facing a difficult situation but it was recorded that God knew their situation and saw the affliction they were facing.
That situation that you find yourself, is it self cause. Most of the time, the situation of the children of Israel was caused by themselves. Look inward. Is that situation to the glory of God or is it self-inflicted?
Joseph's affliction was not self-inflicted. It was a trial of faith to build him for the throne. God saw all he passed-through and protected him till he got to the throne. His entire family would have died if not that Joseph was on the throne. Everything he passed through was known to God.
That situation we are passing through, is it as a result of the disobedient to God's commandment? Did God permit it in order to punish you for your unfaithfulness? You need to check your life in the mirror of God's word and know where the fault comes from and amend your ways.
Trust God and be patient. When Joseph was patient on the Lord throughout this affliction, God saw him through. Wait upon the Lord. Be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart.
WAIT I say on the Lord. psalm 27:14
whatever happen is not hidden from God at all, he is aware of everything and will definitely do something about it. we just need to trust God and his process.
