The grapefruit needs to be crushed to bring out the wine. The harder it is crushed, the more wine is produced. Greater faith is gained through higher tests. The higher the cliff, the greater our heights of trust. Even if the Lord has allowed the enemy to take you up the hill of trials, trust Him still. If your sins led you there, trust Him still. He will have mercy, and He will deliver.
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.”
– 2 Corinthians 4:8
Even if you are pushed off the cliff, be rest assured, you will not fall. It’s not over, He will catch you. We don’t know how, but we trust Him. His faithfulness is revealed fully when there is no help in sight. No matter how it may seem there is no one there to catch you when the enemy, situations, wicked attacks, or pressure pushes you off that cliff, Jesus is always there to catch you. Though you can’t see Him, yet He is faithful.
“For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
– 2 Corinthians 12:10
Helpers may seem not in sight, the environment is dry like a desert with no water, Jesus is nearby… the well of living waters. He will never forsake those that trust in Him. Do not say, that believer failed, that one didn’t receive help… hold to your own conviction. Every believer receives according to their faith. Your help is not determined by if others receive or not, but grounded on your own conviction that even if others do not, I will.
“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.”
– Psalm 125:1
Your joy will rest in His faithfulness, that is faith, and such faith never fails. Trials will always come, tribulations and persecutions. Inasmuch as we are still on this earth, the devil will always attack. But we must learn to rest in God’s faithfulness, because that is our habitation of security in this world.
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.”
– Isaiah 43:2
