If we would take some time to reflect on Our Lord’s past demonstrations of His power, His presence and His faithfulness as He has sustained us in and through times of particularly difficult trials and testings, Scripture instructs us to do so with the understanding that such demonstrations were, at the same time, sovereignly designed by Him to prepare us for, and sustain us through, future times of trail and testing as well.
As we consider this truth, it should move us to face and receive today’s trials and testings with an anticipation, and a sure hope, that they come to us as preparation for His future demonstrations of His power, His presence and His faithfulness.
This blessed reality is summed up well in the words of Thomas Chisholm in the hymn he penned...Great is Thy Faithfulness , "...strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow..."
