Things We Cannot See are Critical
While we can feel pain and stress and can even look at a person and know that they are stressed or feeling pain, none of us can actually see pain or stress. To stretch our thought processes let us think of someone who could be smiling broadly, yet experiencing the greatest of pain (putting the best outside). Or someone could be crying and yet experiencing the greatest joy (tears of joy or it could be the Holy Spirit ministering to the person!).
When the Word of God says “weeping may endure for a night but joy commeth in the morning” or “turning one’s sorrow into dancing”, this is the process by which the pain and agony of our testings are turned into victory and joy of our testimonies.
To extend a bit more, the word of God says that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimonies. So each time we overcome, it qualifies us to be tested further and to overcome!
Father, in the name of Jesus, your children shall overcome and we will not be defeated. Father, I command that every breach be repaired, that everything that is wrong in the lives of your people be fixed in Jesus name. Hedge around us again Lord in Jesus’ name, Amen.
