Even when bad things happen to good and godly people, the Lord will save them and keep them from being defeated. God promises that He won’t let us fail, but He expects us to trust Him, to stand in faith on His Word, and to determine to persevere no matter what…even when adversity strikes.
Promises During Adversity
Just look at these scriptures about how God responds when His people experience adversity:
In Exodus 3:7, God says, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people.” He continues in verse 17, saying, “I have said, I will bring you up out of [this] affliction.” And in Deuteronomy 26:7-8, God’s people state, “The LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and...oppression: And the LORD brought us forth...with a mighty hand...and with signs, and with wonders.”
Notice the affliction—the adversity—was followed by signs and wonders.
Don’t limit your signs and wonders to miracles of healings and deliverance. Signs and wonders can take place in your finances as well.
Verse 9 in that same chapter says, “And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.”
What is “a land that floweth with milk and honey”? It’s supernatural increase! It’s a metaphor for God’s blessing and a place of plenty where there is no lack.
Read those verses again…and again…and again. Don’t limit God. Don’t allow the news media to convince you that your future is over, that the adversity you’re facing right now will last forever or that you’ll never recover. As long as God is on the throne, Jesus is Lord, and the Word is forever settled in heaven.
Philippians 1:6, "The Message," says, “There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.”
That’s where you and I are headed—to a flourishing finish. There is still time for God to turn things around on your behalf; never doubt that. In fact, raise your hand right where you are and make this declaration: “God is turning things around in my behalf, and I am going to have a flourishing finish!”
Without a doubt, it’s true: God is not going to let you fail! V
