Are you troubled right now or maybe your going through tough times? do not fear or give up easily, God knows what you’re going through, just continue praying to him.
Joshua 21:45 firmly establishes this truth: God keeps his Word. Not one of God’sgood promises has ever failed, not before the time of Joshua, not after, and not now.
In the New Living Translation Isaiah 55:10-11 says, “The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.”
God’s Word is a seed (Luke 8:11). Once it’s planted, it will grow and develop into the fruit the Lord intends it to become.
God’s Word is trustworthy. His promises are true. What God says he will do, he will do. The English Standard Version expresses this idea in 2 Corinthians 1:20:
“For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.”
When It Feels Like God Has Failed Us
There are times, however, when it feels as though God has failed us. Consider the story of Naomi. While living in Moab, a land far from her home, Naomi lost her husband and two sons. There was a famine ravaging the land. Grief-stricken, destitute, and alone, Naomi must have felt like God had forsaken her.
From her point of view, God was dealing bitterly with Naomi. But the famine, the move to Moab, and the deaths of her husband and sons were all leading to something glorious and gracious in God’s plan of salvation. Naomi would return to her homeland with one faithful daughter-in-law, Ruth. The kinsman-redeemer, Boaz, would save Naomi and marry Ruth. Boaz and Ruth would become great-grandparents of King David, who would carry the bloodline of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.Amid her grief and brokenness, Naomi could not see the big picture. She could not know what God was doing. Maybe you feel like Naomi, and you are losing faith in God and his word. You feel as though he’s done you wrong, abandoned you. You find yourself asking, “Why hasn’t he answered my prayers?”
I want to tell you, some times God want to test your faith, he wants to see how firm we stand with him, that’s why I tell everyone reading this article never to give up praying to God even if you’re going through hell.
