Are you ready to overcome the trials of life?
There are probably moments in your life when you think, “God couldn’t really have meant this for me… could He?” 🙂↕️
Well friend, as much as I’d love to give you an answer, I can’t. We simply have to come to terms with the fact that God is GOD, and we—as His creation, as mere humans—shouldn’t wait around for an explanation before we choose to keep TRUSTING Him.
Because what is faith, without trust?
If we keep waiting for the why before we start walking, we’ll miss the chance to honor God with our trust—and shift our eyes toward the miracles He has waiting for us!
In one of the seven letters John wrote to the churches, using the words Jesus gave him, we read this:
“I know that you live in the city where Satan has his throne, yet you have remained loyal to me. You refused to deny me even when Antipas, my faithful witness, was martyred among you in that city of Satan.” (Revelation 2:13, NLT)
The verse starts with: “I know.” friend, that’s the first thing: God KNOWS your situation.
He SEES you, and He sees everything going on in your life. He also sees how you’re responding. Otherwise, He wouldn’t have said: “You remained loyal to me.” You didn’t give up your faith—even under pressure.
God sees how faithful you’ve been. And believe me, that’s something He never forgets. 🫶🏻
And look what comes next: “To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven.” (Revelation 2:17 NLT)
Do you see how it says: “the manna that has been hidden”? Manna was what the people needed in their wilderness. And friend, while you keep holding onto your faith—even when your situation is painful, confusing, or just plain unfair—you, too, will come out victorious. And that hidden manna—what you’re lacking right now—will be revealed. 👀
When the storm presses in from every side, it’s worth it to stay faithful and let Him guide.
Will God be able to say of you: “You remained loyal to me … You refused to deny me…” (Revelation 2:13) 🙏🏻
You are a miracle!
