It's no secret that we are indeed living in "a time of trouble."
I know awesome men of God that have lost their jobs during this time of "economic chaos." So as a man of faith, I don't deny that the trouble is real, because it's very real, but I do know that we serve a God that "sits" higher, and "sees" higher than any ounce of trouble that could come your way!
Psalm 27:5 says:
"For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me: He shall set me up upon a rock."
As the "just" (the Lord's redeemed people), we are to walk by faith, and not by sight (Hab 2:4, Gal 3:11). In the natural, we see a river rising around us, we see the huge waves threatening to take the very breath that we should be praising God with. Our natural reaction is to "hold our breath" here and there, as we try to survive.
I encourage everyone reading this blog to release a shout (praise) of faith! let the enemy and your circumstances know that you will never "hold your breath." When you praise in faith, you are working your faith! We know that faith without works is dead (Jam 2:20). So when you begin to praise God in the face of chaotic circumstances, you release your living, breathing, active faith! (Hebr 11:1).
Psalm 27:6 says:
"And now shall my mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord."
Fear is your enemy. Worry is your enemy. Depression is your enemy. Confusion is definitely your enemy. Even though you may not feel like it, even if you feel like your "joy tank" is on "E", PRAISE GOD ON PURPOSE! (that's why it's called a sacrifice of joy). It's "by faith" that the setting up upon a rock (the manifestation of God's secure place for you, a.k.a. "deliverance") begins.
God has already prepared a "wealthy place (Ps 66:12)" for you (that doesn't mean finances only, but it does include finances). He saw the trouble before it came, and He has already prepared your needed provision for this time! Now praise Him like you believe it, and expect the "place" to manifest!
In Christed!
