April 22
Our God wants us to avoid hell at all cost. He will place every impediment in our path to block our way to the pit that He’s reserved for the devil and his minions. That is not to say that every time we suffer or are in a trying situation it is the Lord’s doing for our eternal benefit.
That is simply to say He loves us and will intervene on our eternal behalf if we have a heart and mind that are toward Him. Exodus 20:20 states as much, “Moses responded to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you so that you will fear Him and will not sin.”
This indicates that some of life’s trials come in order that we flee to God in our desperation and when we have fallen on our knees before Him, He will be able to comfort us with His love and deliver us with His power and we will be spared the ordeal of the sin of faithlessness.
When we stand on the promise in Romans 8:28 that, “All things work together for good to them that love God,” we cannot soon be shaken from our faith when it is buffeted by trial. When the Lord our Fortress shows Himself strong for us at the point of testing, we know all we have placed in His hands is secure forever.
