It Was All Him

God was with you in the weakness of your flesh, on the uneven road, and in the dark valley. When you walk in an unknown direction, the Lord is the one who leads you. It was all Him. God was in control the whole time.

It is in His promises and His Holy Spirit that your confidence lies. It is His life-sustaining power that keeps you going. By His sustaining hand, He upheld you in every trial and attempt by the devil to destroy you. As a result, you are stronger and more emboldened than ever before.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

He will do as He has promised. The Lord, your God, will move and perform everything He has said He would do. Then, when the clock strikes 12, the time He has preordained according to His purposes, He will make it happen without delay. He will send out the word, His command, and He will accomplish what He planned for you.

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11

Though the tests are strenuous and taxing, the trials are fiery and furious, and the pressing you must endure is beyond what others can comprehend. Yet the Lord was and is with you. He has never let you down. He has always been there to hold you and keep you. You will one day bear witness to His incredible power that He saved you until the very end with His hand. He is such an amazing God!

There will come a day and a time that all will see and hear of the wonderful, amazing, and marvelous power of the Lord God Almighty. It will be too late for many, but some will rejoice with you because of your work and faith.

On that day, there will be no denying the testimony of all the great and marvelous things He has done. It was all Jesus and His power. It was all His will. All the power of His Spirit led you and brought you through every treacherous thoroughfare.

Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And He who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified. Romans 8:26-30
