Walking with Jesus in faith is like dancing between
raindrops. Yes, it is true; life is very difficult at times, and storms seem to
hit us very often. But if we trust in God, and believe, truly believe, in our
hearts that his plan is supreme and perfect, and that whatever comes our way
doesn’t do it without God’s sovereign consent; and we allow ourselves to
rejoice in him and in his creation and constant blessings, despite the harsh
conditions, then he will honor it and bless us even more. He will allow us to
walk where storms are raging and not get wet.
The whole idea behind our problems is Satan trying to steal
our joy and thus also our blessings. When we allow our troubles to weigh us
down, we reject in our spirit the blessings of God. We may not notice that we do
it, but if we grumble and grunt, and look at everything around us through sinister
glasses, then we miss our exit, which is usually decorated in a way only the
sensitive heart catches… And we have to keep on walking on the same dreary road
until the next exit… If we keep this attitude we never find the exit, and with
all the storms on the way, end up soaking wet.
Stop worrying so much! God has it under control. He does by
mere definition – He is God… If you know in your heart that God created the
universe, and that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus, for you – so you can
be free of sin and have eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven, then you should trust
him, and allow him to guide you between the raindrops to a safe haven. He will
never abandon nor forsake you.
You don’t have to take my word for it:
In Deuteronomy 32:4 we read,
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Deuteronomy 31:6 instructs us to,
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of
them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:5 tells us,
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content
with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you.”
John 3:16 says,
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
In Psalm 18:30 we are told that,
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is
tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
And finally, in Revelation 21:3-7 we find,
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be
his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things
are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And
he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I
will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.He
that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall
be my son.
Stay blessed, and don’t let those raindrops fool you into
getting wet…
