Your God will not leave you..no, Not EVER! Exodus 1:12 "but the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew". This passage is from the story of the children of Israel, while they were still in Egypt. A new king had taken the throne Over Egypt. His concern was that the Israelites had grown to be stronger and greater in number than the Egyptians. So...he set taskmasters over them, to afflict them with many burdens. But..what was the outcome? The Israelites got STRONGER and they GREW in number! The king of Egypt must have been left scratching his head over this..because he clearly didn't know or understand the God of Israel.
Beloved, I do not know what you might be facing today...but I do know Jesus. When affliction has come into your life, in any form...you too can GROW. You can gather strength as you rest in the arms of your Savior. Your level of trust will also grow as you cast your cares on Jesus, believing that He will not leave you..no, Not EVER!
Your peace will increase, your joy will flow, and your strength will multiply...as you look to Jesus..the Author and Finisher of your faith..in full assurance that the Author is also the Originator, Creator, Master, and Founder of your faith. As you come through any affliction in your life, you will be able to look back..and see that as great as that affliction was..even greater were the hands that carried you..even deeper your trust and assurance in Him became..and in a more substantial way, your awareness of his presence in your life grew and developed.
