Jesus is Lord. He is the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. We utter those words and sometimes it seems that we are part of the crowd leaving the tower of Babel after the judgement. The world we live in just doesn't make sense. It is during those times that we have to rely on Jesus being Lord and Master and know that His ways are above our ways. Lately, I have been going through a trial of faith. It seems at times like we just leave one fiery trial and another one arrives to take its place before we even get a chance to rest. It is the enemies job to make life hard for us when we are doing a good job witnessing and winning souls. I just went through one ordeal on my job with a person and hopefully finally passed that trial when another has been already hoisted my way. I suppose Jesus thinks I am growing and can handle it all. I can always rely on Jesus to strengthen me for the times ahead. We may not know what is ahead but He does. I think back to King David and how he first slay the lion and the bear and then went on to do greater things. The lion and the bear were only small change where God was concerned. The children of Israel needed a fierce leader to bring them through times of battle and David was it. He had many failings as a man but the bible says he was a man after God's own heart. That to me is very encouraging. I look at myself and see where my flesh many times fails to make the mark and I again need to cry out for strength but know that if I am sincere and seeking Jesus's perfect will for my life and doing all I can do on my own that mercy and truth will meet together and the goodness of Jesus will carry me through the trial instead of taking the trial away. I hope I have helped encouraged someone today to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Don't give up because you fail. Just get back up and try again. You are entrusted with a precious gift of faith. Pray that it fail not and let Jesus be Lord. You after all could never and will never be able to save yourself but He is able to save all who call on His name.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein
