Tests and trials have a way of forcing us to choose what we are going to believe. When trouble rises up, we're either going to believe the Word of God or we're going to believe the circumstances. Labels: Enjection
James 1:2-3 in the Message translation says, You know that under pressure your faith life is forced into the open, and it will show its true colors. It's when you're under pressure that you find out what you really believe. Anybody can talk faith in church or with other Christians. But where it counts most is when you're all by yourself. You can tell where a person is spiritually just by listening to what comes out of their mouth, because under pressure you're either going to talk the Word or you're going to talk the problem.
The devil has a habit of trying to convince us that the Word isn't working, nobody cares, and it's over, or as we say in Texas, "Ship your saddle home." But that's a lie. If we could see into the spirit realm, we'd see angels busily working to get our needs met and causing things to come to pass.
In Galatians 6:9 the apostle Paul said that if we will not allow ourselves to grow weary, we will reap in due season. You never know when your due season is going to come. If you're standing fast on God's Word, you could have a due season today. If not today, it could be tomorrow. God doesn't keep time by hours, minutes, and seconds. He keeps time by "due season." And when you determine to lean on the Word and refuse to give up, God can see to it that your due season is manifested!
