This week God has led me to encourage those who are going through the kind of test that daily encouragement is NECESSARY! This is for the person who it seems that you have had Davidic experience all of your life. This is for the person who just like David finds yourself constantly in battle! You are the one who God has under constant weight training. You are always lifting a weight of trial that you must sacrifice yourself on the altar of God to give to Him so that He can pull out and put in you what is necessary. This encouragement is for the levite. This is for the servant of God who not only fights their own battles but also is involuntarily or voluntarily brought into the battles of others!
Psalms 46:1-5, 10-11
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.]] God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most High.
God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early.
Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah.
The word present in this particular passage means
to be encountered, be lighted upon, be discovered
b) to appear, be recognised
Point1: GOD CAN BE DISCOVERED, FOUND IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE IN OTHER WORDS TROUBLE IS SOMETHING GOD USES TO TEACH YOU MORE ABOUT HIMSELF SO THAT YOU CAN TEACH OTHERS !
c) to be discovered, be detected
Point 2: GOD IS IN THE MIDST AND HE WILL SHOW UP IN A PLACE CALLED TROUBLE! HE NEVER LEAVES US OR FORSAKES US! HE IS ALWAY s THERE!
d) to be gained, be secured
2) to be, be found
Point 3: TROUBLE IS THE PROCESS GOD USES TO ADD MORE OF HIMSELF INSIDE OF YOU! MORE OF HIS WISDOM< SPIRITUAL FRUITS AND KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CHARACTER.When you know who He is you won't fear in trouble you will begin to rest in His Peace that passes all understanding!
a) to be found in
b) to be in the possession of
c) to be found in (a place), happen to be
POINT 4: WHEN THE TROUBLE IS OVER YOU WILL HAVE OBTAINED MORE AT THE END OF TRIAL THAN AT THE BEGINNING> YOU WILL POSSESS A GREATER FOCUS< LEVEL OF PRODUCTIVITY< POWER AND THINKING! YOU WIL BE BETTER INFORMED ABOUT WHO YOU ARE IN GOD SO THAT YOU CAN DO THE WILL AND DESIRE OF GOD>
d) to be left (after war)
e) to be present
f) to prove to be
POINT 5: After the trial there will be no more you left, only God. No flesh will glory in God's sight. In the place of pride more humility! In the place of doubt, faith. In the place of fear , power, love and sound mindedness! In the place of mistrust, rejection and issues will be freedom, deliverance and productivity; because productivity can only come to a free mind that is free from fear, hate, and an unstable mind.
g) to be found sufficient, be enough
Point 6: God is enough and will show you that He is enough to carry you through any Hell! Trust Him to lead and guide you through your valley!
Point 7:
So Levites, Ministers, Leaders of any kind TODAY BE ENCOURAGED! God is bringing you through this place so that He can build the necessary strength that He is going to need for you to have in your next place of Glory. Yesterday's Battle was for today and today's battle is for your tomorrow. Yesterday's battles is your ministry, oil, and energy for today! In your last battle you had to do some spiritual push ups in order to get to this place and hopefully in your last battle you praised your way to another level in God. So Know that just like God was with you in your last battle He is with you in your current struggle. This struggle is empowering you, it's setting you up for another level of faith, another level of endurance, another level of wisdom, and another level of Grace to complete future assignments.
Leaders don't let frustration or flesh keep you from your PROMISE! Yesterday's struggle was your escort into today's PROMISE! Remember that the Lord of Hosts, (The Lord of an army of angels) is with you fighting this battle on your behalf. So BE ENCOURAGED because God is with you through it all!. He is PRESENT in the time of TROUBLE!
Let the Love of God fill your day!
Be Encouraged!
