I love how people try to figure out
our God. They play this game with him. You know it is based on weights and
balances. It goes like this – if I am more righteous than unrighteous then God
will do things for me. So, if I am godly then I will not have any troubles at
all. This leads them to believe that when someone then has troubles in their life
they must not be godly.
I think all this sounds great. It is naive but it sounds really great. Let me clear up some thinking for myself. God
is not a game player. He cannot be mocked. He has a system by which he
processes our life spiritually. And many times the greatest spiritual growth in
our lives comes through times of great difficulties. So, then troubles in
someone’s life is not necessarily an indication of unrighteousness.
Listen to the Psalm of David #37. The LORD rescues the godly; he is their
fortress in times of trouble. (Psalm 37: 39). Did you see it too? Jehovah
is rescuing the godly as a fortress when they have troubles. So, the godly have
trouble. The good news for the godly in trouble is that Jehovah is the fortress
of salvation for us.
Embrace your rescue today!
