GOD’S WORD OF MY SALVATION
When trials seem unbearable, there is always a temptation to turn away from the faith. There are also times when the battle is too fierce, and fear grips the heart, wanting to surrender and give up. These are just some reasons why God’s children are tempted to leave the faith.
Mine eyes fail for God’s salvation: The psalmist does not give up on his faith. He continues to trust in his God and Saviour. Although he can no more see any chance of help or any probability of rescue, he is not deterred to look forward to God’s strong and mighty arms to succour him. This is the conviction every genuinely born-again believer has whose faith is given by the grace of God. His eyes may fail to see God’s salvation and he may be unable to appreciate any of God’s interference, but this will not change his view of the God he believes in.
Mine eyes fail for Thy righteousnesses: His eyes also fail to see the Word. The deceptions and lies flood the church and sweep away the truth of God’s Word. Everyone will talk of the things of this world and the pleasures and entertainments of their flesh. The righteousness of God’s Word is nowhere to be found. No silver lining is seen, yet he knows the Word is eternal. It has been there from before the beginning of this universe and will last even when this world passes away.
Do not let your faith be dependent on the circumstances around you. Dark clouds may cover the skies, but be sure the sun is right there over the clouds. The dark clouds may prevent the light of the sun from being seen, but it does not have the power to remove the sun or stop it from shining. Clouds are temporary; sooner or later they will be gone. They have no power of their own to stay put. But the sun will continue to be there until the time of the Lord’s ordained will to destroy the heaven and the earth so that He can make a new heaven and a new earth.
Dear reader, your salvation is decided by the things above. So keep on looking up for His deliverance, and surely He will come.
THOUGHT: Am I enduring in my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ?
PRAYER: Father, make me see, beyond my immediate environment, the magnificent truth of Thy righteousness.
