Faith amidst fiery trials – Samuel Dhinakaran
“You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.” (Psalm 66:12)
Dear friend, God is speaking to you right now. His promise for you is from Psalm 66:12, “You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.” As per this verse, God might have taken you through fire in the last few days, months or years. Why did He do that? It was for the testing of your faith. You might have said, “Oh I believe in the Lord, I believe He is a good God, I believe He will always protect me,” but then suddenly, God might have taken you through the fire.
There was a minister of God who said, “No covid-19 virus will ever touch me. God will protect me and keep me safe.” But the virus infected him. He was suffering from the effects of fever and other difficulties. He asked the Lord, “Lord, now how will I tell people that You protect Your people? Why did you let it affect me?” But in the midst of that situation God spoke to him saying, “My grace is still covering you. I will not let your life to be destroyed. I am still holding you in My hands.”
God spoke to him in those days and the faith of that minister was really strengthened. Similarly, God tests our faith by taking us through the fire so that our faith on Him will grow. You will know that in the midst of tough situations God will not let you down. Not just that, after the testing of faith, He will bring you to a place of abundance. When you hold on to your faith, the Lord will help you and increase you and reward you with a place of abundance. Today, He is blessing you with that place of abundant blessings. You will see everything prosper because He is so happy about you. Because you have honored God with your faith He is going to honor you.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Thank You for standing with me in my trial. Thank You for protecting my faith. Thank You for teaching me to trust You and protecting my soul. My faith is growing stronger in You Lord. Now that I have honored You, reward me with the place of abundance and prosper everything I touch.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
