For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell…)Going through a rough time? There is light at the end of the tunnel…hang on!
(Psalm 16:10, KJV)
It was the hardest season our ministry and married life and it seemed like we were hit on every front. It felt like "hell on earth!" We were parents of four preschoolers, pioneering a church that didn't seem to be growing, living in a microscopic house, surviving sleep deprivation and the pressures of life and ministry on a serious shoestring budget! It sure didn't feel like "the blessings" were falling in our lives at that time – it felt like we had been forgotten, overlooked and sentenced to outer darkness! As it turns out, it was a season of sheer faith, obedience and endurance.
Somehow this verse of Scripture comforted my soul! Pitiful isn't it?
Sometimes we just need to know that deliverance is on the horizon. I know it's tough sometimes. There are rough seasons where life can feel like all of hell is against us. We all face those times. Be encouraged…the Lord promised that He will never leave you or forsake you! Be strong and full of hope today and know that the Lord is working to deliver you from "hell"!
Say This:
Father, thank You for Your promise of deliverance. I will keep my eyes on You and I know that you will bring me through this season of "hell" to the other side! I trust in You and Your Word. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
