Throughout
scripture, the people who put their hope in God while going through
impossible trials were the same ones who witnessed His miraculous
provisions in their lives. Don't you know Shadrach, Meshach &
Abednego were ready to meet the Lord when they were thrown into the
fire-still they stood firm & put their hope in Him instead of the
trial they were facing. They didn't know how God would provide- but they chose to believe He would.
Setting your mind in advance that your hope is in God gives you a way out of every trial. With God you can do all things He strengthens you to do. This mindset keeps you focused on God as your source of hope verses the outcome of the trial you're facing. You acknowledge the reality of what you're facing-it's impossible, but your hope is in God, not the outcome of the trial. This may lead you right into the fire; then you will have to choose if you will stand on God's hope-that He's with you & will never leave you.
Most trials require us to walk into the fire & stand on what we profess to believe-this is the only way for us to know that God never leaves us. None of us ever want to go in the fire, but when we do...we come out with such a certainty of God's love like never before! We know what we believe & no devil in hell can ever snatch it from us! Each fire brings greater revelation of God's hope & provisions. The more we know God-the more we know our purpose & His love. We're confident nothing can ever separate us from Him & He has good plans for us. Will you go in the fire when faced with it ...so you will know with confidence His hope provides for you? (Dan 3:17, Phil 3:10, 4:13, Rom 8:38-39, Jer 29:11, Ps 25:5) 2/13/14LMM #CIFL #godisourhopealways
