Victory In Christ

     We experience many struggles, sorrows, and pain in our lifetime. So, How do we handle these when our prayers are not answered the way we hoped and prayed? When we are at the point of despair after our hopes and dreams are totally crushed, how are we to respond?

Or, when we have prayed and prayed, the question remains “Why have my prayers gone unanswered. Things have not turned out well at all.”  So, what then? For myself, I choose never to get angry with God. He is not the problem. Either Satan is attacking or God is allowing situations to mold our character and prepare us for future victory. 

     The verses in Joel 2:25-26 promise restoration even after total loss: “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten – the great locust, the young locust, and the locust swarm – My great army that I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the Name of the Lord, your God.”

     We can never get back the evil years. However, through our experiences, our relationship with Father God grows and matures. For verse 27 goes on to say “You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your GOD.”  

     Remember God saying: “I Am the Lord – your Healer!” ~~ Exodus 15:26. 

     And Romans 8:28: “So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are His lovers who have been called to fulfill His designed purpose” ~~ (TPT).

     “You will laugh at destruction and famine, and you will not fear wild animals”  ~~ Job 5:22.
