Matthew 22:36-37 (AMP)

 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” And Jesus replied to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

 

While watching the latest movie “God is Not Dead 2” I was fascinated by a conversation between the main character and her dad.  She was confiding to her dad about not feeling God’s presence while going through a fiery trial in her life.  Her dad said, “When a teacher gives the students a test he doesn’t speak while they’re going through the test, he watches, and waits for them to finish the test.”  That really jumped out at me.

It’s so true.  Our “Teacher” and “Masterful God is always there watching, and at times, waiting for us to complete our trial, while guiding us silently through it, and eventually, carries us out with a stronger, and deeper sense of faith when the test ends. We are immerses in knowledge and an awareness we didn’t have prior to the test. We bring a new sense of being to the forefront after the test which enables us to “teach” others and proclaim God’s magnificence because of it.

Trials and adversities bring us closer to God in so many ways, but mainly, by inspiring us to trust in Him fully, and to recognize that its during these trials that we are being refined to perfection.

We are far from perfect, God knows that.  But, with each test, trial, or situation we undergo, it brings us closer to Him on a spiritual level. Our roots grow deeper in faith, as we stay on track in our obedience, and dedication, to our loving Father.

It is during these trials, that we run to Him more readily, and when we ask for His help in supplication, and yield to His will, we are showing our love and dedication to Him by our actions, which ultimately pleases our Father greatly, and our rewards will be forthcoming.

Show diligence, and ask for His wisdom, and strength, when going through issues or periods of dark moments.  When we believe in His magnificence, and His sovereign power and love, we can go through anything, because He is with us.

His light will shine through and darkness will be gone…in it’s place peace, and tranquility, and a great deal of comfort knowing we’re in His very capable and loving hands at all times. Watch for the rainbow at the end of the storm, it will always shine through.

So, the next time you’re going experiencing a hard time in your life, realize that the “Teacher” is standing nearby and will never leave His student…

 

Thank you O’ loving Father,  amazing Teacher, Master, and King of the Universe, for Your patience, guidance and love…all the glory honor and praise are Yours and Yours alone, forever and ever, Amen~

 

 

Psalm 1-6 (KJV)

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
