The LORD has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling. Psalm 132:13

Redemption is only by grace.

Job 33:28 “He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light.”
Often our crisis moves us to listen to God’s voice. We get closer to Him during our trials. Job’s story is a great example that provides assurance that God is our rescuer and He rescues us from the grave and redeems us to put us in a place where we may live in the light of the living.
Our merciful God loved us like He loved Job. He prepared and places us on the path of everlasting love just as He did with Job.
Scriptures teach us that His grace is sufficient for us, as He provided Job with love and kindness through a spiritual messenger Elihu to encourage and guide Job back to the path of light.
Even though our situations are far less than what Job has gone through. But we might be going through some type of challenges in our lives. Professional politics, family issues, social trials, financial difficulty, emotional distress, terminal sickness, or economical crisis. In all these things God can and He will get everything back on track and bless us more because whatever He does it is ultimately good. We may not able to see the light at the end of our dark tunnels but light is their and going through is rough, hard, and overwhelming but soon we will learn more and receive the strength that elevates our belief and our trust on our creator who was from the beginning and remain the same after everything ends.
He is Alpha and He is Omega and He is not a man that He should lie. (Titus 1:2) Therefore we need to recognize and interpret what He is saying to us through our trials. If we are not careful we can miss what God is saying to us today through our experiences and trials.
Often we think that every negative situation, difficult trial, and single obstacle we encounter is a Satanic attack, and unknowingly we pass all the credit to Satan and miss what God is trying to do to us today.
Listen to His voice carefully and put your ears towards His directions. He may use someone to speak to us today.
Our repentance brings Salvation, and the salvation we receive brings everlasting life with abundance.
We must accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and die to ourselves (Judge24-25) letting go of our egos and letting God be God like Job did, so that we can confidently declare; It is well with my soul, even though some go through the fire, some go through the flood. That is because God’s ways are not man’s ways.
He allows us all to come through the blood of Jesus Christ. So, no matter what trials we facing today, we can use this season to affirm that we’re persuaded, that neither death nor life, shall separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus. Walk in the light as He is the light and let us love one another (John1:7). Weeping may endure for a night but your joy unspeakable and full of glory cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5) on earth as it is in heaven.
Let’s start our day by listening to His voice out of the scriptures and let Him guide our day in His presence.
Promise: “Your decisions will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.”
Prayer: Dear Lord Heavenly Father mighty wonderful God. Lord, open my ears to hear Your voice today and help me to be able to tell when it is Your voice or Your messenger speaking to me. Then give me the courage not only to listen but to trust and obey You. Thank You, Jesus, I declare You are my God, my times are in Your hands. Make Your face shine upon me and my family and be gracious to us, so that we can arise, and shine Your light that is now in us. In Jesus’s Holy Name, I pray Amen.
Have a blessed day!
