Freed from Suffering! 👑

I’m sure you know this encouraging verse from the Psalms: “The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.” (Psalm 34:19, NLT)  

But every now and then, don’t you wonder: Okay, but what exactly does this mean? Will I be freed from suffering here on earth? Or only in eternity?

I want to encourage you to always ask your questions. Ask your pastor, people who are further along in their faith, or God Himself.

I often bring my questions to my family. It’s a great way to start conversations around the kitchen table or while we’re sitting together at a café. ☺️Recently, I noticed the couple at the table next to us listening in very intently. 

You never know who else might receive answersBecause you asked your questions.

But back to the verse: Does it mean that God will free us from all suffering here on earth?

I’d like to share a helpful answer from the Stamps Study Bible:

“Our suffering must be balanced with the knowledge that God desires to deliver us from all distress. When His purposes have been accomplished—the purposes for which He allowed difficulties—He will either deliver us through a supernatural intervention in this life or through a victorious death that carries us into eternal life with Him.”

One thing is certain: When God delivers you, it ALWAYS results in victory! 👑

There’s something you should never forget: God’s deliverance ALWAYS has a purpose—to draw you closer to His heart. ❤️

Let’s be really honest about this for a moment. 

Most of the time, we’re actually closer to His heart while we’re still waiting for our miracle…But when we finally receive it, we’re quick to move on to the next thing, aren’t we? 🫣

Take this thought with you today:

When God makes you wait,maybe He simply enjoys having you close to Him… ❤️

You are a miracle!
