“Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name” (Mal. 3:16).
Have you ever noticed that those who have the most exciting, faith-inspiring testimonies are those who’ve been under pressure at some time in their lives? They’re the people who stayed faithful when the pressure was on. People who believed God’s promises of prosperity in the midst of desperate financial situations or people who trusted God for healing in the face of a terminal disease.
My friend, when you get into a hard spot is not the time to back out on God and begin to say, “Well, God, why did You let this happen to me?” It’s not the time to step back and reevaluate His faithfulness.
What I’m saying to you is this: When tough times keep dragging on and the situations around you seem to refuse to get in line with the promises of God, don’t reevaluate God! He is not missing it, and He’s not failing.
If you’re going to reevaluate anything, reevaluate yourself! Look and see where you may have failed. If you still can’t find out what the problem is, just say, “God, I don’t know what’s wrong here, and I’m asking You to show me. But one thing I know, the problems not with You, and I continue to be moved by Your Word and not by circumstances.” Then when He reveals something to you, be quick to make changes.
I want to encourage you to stand firm and to keep honoring God with your words. The Lord is listening to you when the pressure is on. What is He going to hear?
