Dear Reader,
Have you ever felt discouraged? Do you currently feel like God's Word is failing in your life? Do not give up! No matter how long it takes, God's Word WILL be fulfilled in your life.
Psalm
12:6 – “The words of the Lord are pure words. They are like silver that has
been made pure seven times in a stove of earth.”
When
something is purified, it can stand the test of time. I mean, why wont it, when
it has been passed through intense fire and still survived? It is often said
that fire is the ultimate test of a thing. This is true because whatever does
not survive is burnt to ashes. Silver or Gold are things everyone loves to
handle, but the process it goes through is not funny! It must be passed through
fire in order for the impurities inside it to be taken out before it is finally
pronounced as pure. And as we all know, original silver or gold do not fade no
matter the time. It is a ‘die-with-me’ kind of material. That is indeed why
people go to great lengths to be in possession of it.
In
this passage, God’s Words are likened to silver that has been purified 7 times
over.
Wow.
What
does this mean for me?
This
means that God’s Words are true, reliable, pure, and can stand the test of time.
This means that I can trust His Word and I can rely on it. This means that even
when I am facing difficulty even in my own “furnace,” I can hold onto the promises
of God to sustain me and take me through the difficult moment. This also means
that when my trials are over, no matter how long it takes. God will fulfill His
purpose and promises towards me. Therefore, when I am facing challenges, I must
not hesitate to pray God’s Word back to Him. It is not that He has forgotten,
it is that we believe in His Word and know that He will honor it. Man’s
words/promises may fail, in fact, they WILL fail, but God’s Word will NEVER
fail. His Word is Yes, and Amen.
“For
no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through
him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
What
promises has God made to you over the years? He will fulfill His promise to you!
“Not
one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.”
(Joshua 21:45)
“Therefore
say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be
delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign
Lord.” (Ezekiel 12:28)
“The
Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly for I am watching to see that my word
is fulfilled.”” (Jeremiah 1:12)
“…For
You have magnified Your Word above all Your name.” (Psalm 138:2)
I hope you have been blessed.
In Christ,
Shanpepe.
