“O Bless our God you people and make the voice of His praise to be heard. Who keeps our soul among the living and does not allow our feet to be moved. For You O God have tested us, You have refined us as silver is refined, You brought us into the net You laid affliction on our backs, You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; BUT You brought us out to RICH FULFILLMENT.” Psalms 66:8-12 NKJV
There are times we are tested and tried through the fire. We may not understand but through it all, He is refining and preparing us for the future plan He has in mind. It is not an easy road, but in the end, He will bring us out of the fire to rich fulfillment. It doesn’t mean we will be rich in the natural, but there is a spiritual richness beyond, that we can live every day above this world’s existence. It can’t compare to the riches of the world, for they can’t satisfy the depths of our inner soul like God can. There is a greater peace and satisfaction in relationship with the Lord that none other could ever accomplish in material things. Let us bless our God, for our souls are kept safe and secure in Him, and our feet shall not be moved. Allow the fiery trials to refine and refresh and renew your relationship with the Lord. It’s in the fire when He protects you and carries you through it all. As You draw near to Him and He draws near to you, He will bring you to the assignment He has designed for you, so He may be glorified.
In Psalms 105: 19 it talks of Joseph who was sold as a slave and they hurt his feet with fetters. He was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass the word of the Lord tested him. Joseph remained faithful and kept his trust in the Lord even though he did not understand what was going on. We are to do the same until it is time for His word to be fulfilled in our life, then we too will reach the destiny He has planned. So, remain strong and keep your trust in the Lord for He is faithful to His word and will never fail you.
In Isaiah 52:12b it says, For the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your rear guard. He goes before you and has made the way possible for you to reach the destiny He has in store for you. He is also your rear guard, He’s got your back and there’s nothing to fear. Praise God for this word, and may it encourage you to not give up but to keep moving forward to all He has planned for you. Love & Blessings, Lollita
Lord Jesus,
I thank You for all that I am going through. May I keep my eyes on You so I will experience this rich fulfillment in You. I will continue to seek You and bless Your name always. I will trust You through it all, for You go before me and You are behind me, I shall not fear. In Your precious name, Amen.
