GOD GIVES STRENGTH TO ENDURE UNTIL DELIVERANCE COMES

 Psalms 9:9 NKJV says, “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.” 


To be oppressed means to be pushed down, mistreated, or burdened beyond your strength. Yet God declares that He Himself becomes a refuge to such people. A refuge is a safe place, a shelter, a covering where no enemy can reach you. It means God does not leave you exposed, helpless, or abandoned. Even when trouble surrounds you, He becomes your hiding place. He does not only see your pain, but He provides protection, comfort, and strength until the time of deliverance comes.

Everything with God has its own time. Our God is never early and never late. He acts at the perfect moment. Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” You may be in a season of pain, oppression, or suffering. You may feel like God is taking too long or maybe He does not see what you are going through. But the truth is this: God sees everything, He knows everything, and He cares for you more than you know.

Now the Word of God says clearly, He is our refuge. A refuge is not a permanent home, but a temporary place where you hide while running from danger. This means your suffering is not permanent. It will not last forever. God gives you shelter, strength, and peace while He works behind the scenes on your matter. He covers you in that abusive marriage, that painful relationship, that unfair job, that place where you are being mistreated. You are not alone. God is there with you.

He will keep you safe until the appointed time of deliverance comes. When that time arrives, God will not only rescue you but also deal with your oppressor completely. Just as Israel was oppressed in Egypt for four hundred years, God did not abandon them. He was with them, He blessed them, He increased them, and He made them a great nation even under oppression. The same God is with you. Do not give up. You are not alone. God is your refuge in times of trouble.

Prayer: Lord, give me strength to endure, protect me, and deliver me at your perfect time, in Jesus’ Name.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

WISDOM TO MAKE RIGHT DECISIONS

  James 1:5 NKJV says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”   God is the true source of wisdom. This verse begins by saying "if any of you lacks wisdom,"  meaning God knows there are moments when even His children do not understand what to do. Wisdom is not automatic. It must be asked for. God welcomes you to ask Him because He gives generously. He does not judge, condemn, or shame you for not knowing. He does not accuse you for lacking understanding. Instead, He gives freely, kindly, and without reproach. And the promise is sure, it will be given. God never lies. When you ask in faith, He releases divine wisdom to guide you in your decisions. When you want to make any major decision in your life pause and ask God for wisdom. Our minds are limited but God knows everything. He knows the future. He knows how things will turn out after you make that decision. What looks right to you ma...
