When hope seem to be lost...
Many times in life, people asked, where God when I need Him? Where God when we are under the oppression of a corrupted government? Where God when my family leave me one by one? Where God when I am alone? Where God when I suffered on earth?
Yet when hope seem to be lost, God hasn't abandoned us as we thought He did.
He is still there as He always do been omnipresent...
And just like how He stayed by King David's side when he faced persecution from King Saul, He is also staying by our side, watching over us, protecting us when the devils tried to oppress us from many sides.
I once lost my hope when life didn't seem to be getting better ever since I knew God...
I was on fire after converting, yet the fire died as many went away and it further died off when misunderstanding arised from within those who I thought I can learn to love, and it finally died off when I thought hope was lost.
Yet, at the most unexpected time, God threw me off my crown of self-centerness and bring Himself back into my life when I thought He long give up on me.
A very simple answer He gave...
"I never give up on you, I'm always there when you thought I'm gone. I will never ever leave you."
A promise. A word. A love. A passion.
It is what the reignite a dying fire.
God is always merciful.
In this fallen world, there is God and at the same time there is devil who is also known to many as satan. Satan's purpose is to destroy lives while God's purpose is to restore lives. While God come sincerely, devil come deceitfully. Devil feed us lies while God feed us truths.
Matt 28:20 NIV, "And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of this age."
It is not just a promise to the church, the pastors, but it is a promise to everyone...
So when you thought that all hope is gone, all visions is being destroy...
Think twice, it is really God leaving us or just we ourselves neglecting the truth that God will be with us no matter what.
Trust in the Lord your God and He shall fulfill all that we ever need...
