Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching tem everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20

















 
 

Trial by fire

(Daniel 2 ) 

 

Sometimes it seems that bad stuff happens.

However, the “happening” does not seem to be the real test.

Your response is the test.

Naturally, you long to be on the other side of it all

Back to calmer waters, tranquil pastures.

The way things were.

Whatever happened to Psalm 23......

Fighting the circumstances could be the right thing

But whether you do, there is a strategy you can employ

Difficult to do, but helpful all the same.

Give yourself into the hands of him who judges all things justly

Trust your heart to him in the middle of the storm.

And don't back down to the enemy's temptations

Because he will have you focussed on all sorts of gods.

In doing all this , you may discover something

That, in the end, all you stood to lose was your bonds.

And not even the smell of the trial remains upon you.

Just the beautiful testimony of your own deliverance.

Have a wonderful week.
