The Way of Escape
Your way [of escape for Your people] was through the sea,
And Your paths through the great waters,
And Your footprints were not traceable. Psalm 77:19 AMP
And Your paths through the great waters,
And Your footprints were not traceable. Psalm 77:19 AMP
Would you rather keep recycling a strategy that does not work all because it's bearable and you wouldn't have to suffer too much pain?
What if there's a way to break that cycle? A way of temporal pain, so you could have permanent gain.
Pain can bring us gain.
Passing through pain sometimes is a blessing in disguise. It could be a way of escape out of a problem that has lingered too long and the only way to come out is to leave your comfort zone, to be stretched beyond limit, to encounter a turbulent situation.
So you just have to be patient wherever you find yourself because God has not forgotten to be gracious, and He has not withdrawn His compassion.
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Psalm 77:9
Remember He says when you pass through the waters it would not overwhelm you and when you pass through the fire it would not burn you. God our Father knew we would encounter difficulties and He made appropriate arrangements for us to overcome when they arise.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched,
Nor will the flame burn you. Isaiah 43:2
Remember Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego—for them, serving God in Babylon came with restrictions before the miracle in the furnace of fire. But after they passed through the fire, they became free to worship God whenever and however they wanted to.
Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language that speaks anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego shall be cut into pieces and their houses be made a heap of rubbish, for there is no other god who is able to save in this way! Daniel 3:29
They didn't just come out of the fire not burned, they came out without the smell of smoke. Hallelujah!
The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king’s counselors gathered around them and saw that in regard to these men the fire had no effect on their bodies—their hair was not singed, their clothes were not scorched or damaged, even the smell of smoke was not on them. Daniel 3:27
So my friend be patient with God because when He brings you out in the way He chooses, you won't only come out victorious but you won't look like what you've been through.
God bless you.
