Testing
time
In his time, In his time…he makes all things beautiful in his
time….This is what we all believe in.
Sometimes we are put into test. Test of
our faith, our patience and our perseverance. There are certain junctures of
our life when we succumb to the abjuration and miseries in our lives.
#God always puts his dear ones into test. The righteous have to
bear the brunt and the crook look secure. Lord has put his indisputable and
staunch follower, “JOB” into test. So miserably in his life that he asked; “Why
won’t you answer my prayers? He lost all his riches, his family and was left
with nothing. Not even his clothes!!
At some point of our lives we all find ourselves in position
somewhat like Job’s. Our world seems to crumble apart. Nothing makes sense
anymore. God seems distant and silent. We cannot understand what he does and at
the same time there is no end to his miracles. There are times we feel that we
are pierced with arrows…but finally God delivers.
JOB 8: 20 says “God will never abandon the faithful”. This gave a
reassurance to my faith. God bandages the wounds he makes. His hands hurt you
and his hands heal.
God helps us by giving us several opportunities in life; finally it’s
up to us to make use of it. God wants us to take initiative and have a strong
determination. Only then can we overcome
all hurdles and achieve success.
Here is a story about the man whose
house was flooding? As the water level rose many people came to help him but
every time he answered “God will save me”. Soon the man wakes up in heaven and
asks God "Why didn't you save me" God replied " I sent the
police, two boats and a helicopter, what else did you want"?
Let us not have a situation in life
where we may have to regret for not making use of an opportunity.
Our God is patient and gracious but
he wants us to children to respond. Luke
11:9 says “Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find. Knock
and the door shall be opened unto you”. Amen!!
