God and His glorious Light is always shining down upon us.  His warmth and capacity to love us is beyond our understanding.   “I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”          

1 Corinthians 9:22 (NKJV)

Adversity, is a benign enough word, but the true course of its meaning, can be staggering to many. Most individuals, will face trials and adversity, at some point in their lives. And, the Christian  whose roots are strong in the Lord, will find it easier to cope, than the ones without a belief system.  God, and His arms, and His love, along with His all consuming fire, will sustain and provide, for what we need.  In Jesus’ words,

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” Matthew 7:7 KJV 

During adversity, an individuals true light and character will be exposed.  It is at that time when the rubber meets the road, and true signs of the inner spirit will either emerge…or submerge.  People can disappoint, but God never will.

People will invariably disappoint us, but God NEVER will. When we realize that, we are able to assimilate into a life of acceptance, to face head on whatever it is that comes our way. Sometimes individuals can be vile and mean tempered, or unable or not able to heed the word of the LORD. That’s when we must realize it’s not this person’s time to “accept” the LORD, or interested in what the LORD has to say.

That’s when we have to step back from this person, albeit with a heavy heart, but there is no other recourse.  Because even Jesus said, And who ever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”  Luke 9:5 (NKJV)

Individuals disappoint, however,   “Be of good cheer, know that GOD WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN, and GOD WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT.”

For He is the same as He was from the beginning, and never shall change, He is on the throne and in control.  That in itself, is reward for our souls, and our very foundation of life.

We live in the great day when God is pouring out His Spirit, on all believers in Christ, filling them, and empowering them, to serve Him in holiness and great joy.

Have you asked the Lord to fill you today?

Do so, and believe…because when adversity knocks on your door, you’ll be filled with His Light, and peace to help you through.

“Father, may I always be mindful of Your love, strength, Omnipotence, and ability to do all things, at all times, and realize the depths of Your love, and mercy, have no limits, I need You, my LORD, now, today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”

And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved, For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance.  As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.” 

Joel 2:32 (KJV)

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

John 1:29 (NKJV)

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of  the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 (NKJV)
