Lamentations 3:24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore, will I hope in him.
[The Great Controversy pp 621] God's love for his children during the period of their severest trial is as strong, and tender as in the days of their sunniest prosperity. [Last Day Events pp 72] We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history. Instruction [2] Keep the promises of God front and center of your experience.
That song we often sing: “Standing on the Promises” will have meaning in the most literal sense. One ploy of the enemy is to try to get the Christian who is facing trial, to focus on the problem instead of the solution. Hence the reason why the Hebrews were instructed not to look at their wounds, but on the uplifted serpent, which represented Christ, and the healing that is to be found in Him.
Therefore, by dwelling on the promises of God, an aura of positive outlook will envelop the mind, and this will also go a long way in the recovery process. That’s what Christ told the man who needed help so desperately for his young son, who was in adversity. All things are possible to him that believeth, and it is the mere possibility that opens the door of hope to the one who is tried, because you never know what God will do.
Psalms 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keeps thee will not slumber.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
