"O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You. Let my prayer come before You, incline Your ear to my cry." Psalm 88.1-2
The deeper the well, the closer you will be to God.
Not that He lives there...
but when someone finds themselves in this situation, there is no one they can really count on. Despair brings humbleness, sincerity, surrender and, above all, complete dependence on Him. That is how it was in that past and that is how it is nowadays.
"Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord." Proverbs 19.14
In other words, parents may even give their children the riches of this world. However, a wife that is wise, prudent and a suitable helper is only possible when there is an interference from the Lord.
The wise man will seek a soul mate that is from the Lord.
"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." 1 Peter 3.12
Because of His righteous nature, God hates unrighteousness. He abominates everything that is evil or sinful.
However, suffering is not His form of punishment. Instead, sinners reap the fruits of their sins. And He does not interfere with this.
But, for those who are righteous, His eyes are on them and His ears are open to their prayers.
"So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Indeed, I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness." Psalm 55.6-7
Although his heart was after God's own heart and he was a great war hero, David had his moments of weakness and despair.
If you are in a similar situation, know that the same God that lifted up David in the past, will also lift you up today.
This is a special message from the Holy Spirit to you.
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6.14
The union of a person that is born of the Spirit with a person that is not born of the Spirit has led to many disillusions in the faith.
Only a very few people that are faithful avoid having relationships with unbelievers.
They are under the impression that this person will eventually convert to God, but this goes completely against the Word of God and brings curses upon them.
It's like putting good fruit with rotten fruit in the same basket. The good fruit doesn't cure the rotten fruit, but the rotten fruit will destroy the good fruit.
"The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands." Proverbs 14.1
The power of a wise woman goes far beyond what you can imagine. Her husband and children admire her because she makes a difference in their family.
The devil knows her potential and tries to make her act foolishly, like he did with Eve, Jezebel and many others.
"Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses." Joshua 1.3
Nothing is impossible for God.
Nor for those who persevere in their walk with Him.
However, every promise requires an action.
This is why, every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you.
That is, every step you take forward is a new battle with a guaranteed victory.
When you stop, you stop conquering.
