While you sleep

"Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep."

Psalms 127:1-2

If God is not in control of everything in the human life, it is pointless. But those who have built their houses on the Rock have the increase and the protection even in their sleep.

Famine

"Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord GOD, "When I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, But rather for hearing the words of the LORD."

Amos 8:11

The lack of fear of the Lord is growing because unbelief has been contaminating many generations, and consequently, bringing all sorts of evil. God does not send evil: it is already in the world to destroy those who belong to it.

Struggle

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Ephesians 6:12

The problematic family, illness or fierce enemies are not the ones responsible for destroying people, but the demonic forces that take hold of their hearts, causing diseases and disagreements amongst them.

And because of that, Jesus died, went down to hell to despoil the evil forces and rose again to fulfill His Word in the lives of those who believe.

Strength

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

Joshua 1:9

For three times God told Joshua to be strong, courageous and never dismay before adversities. This reveals what God expect from His children and the attitude that must be taken on difficult situations. In response, He guarantees His presence to protect us.

You do not know

"As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things."

Ecclesiastes 11:5

The human mind cannot achieve God's thoughts which brings about suffering. But when we submit to His Word by faith, then we find fullness of life.

Prudent

"Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein."

Hosea 14:9

Those who accepts God's counselling are wise. Those who walk according to His Word are prudent, but those who ignore or reject His guidance will suffer condemnation.

Born of God

"But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

John 1:12-13

Only the power of God can transform us in children of God and enable us to bear affronts, offenses, prejudices and especially,the envy of the children of darkness. But those who were born of the Holy Spirit have the power to overcome EVERYTHING!
