DAILY DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY NOVEMBER 25, 2001
(1 Kings 22:19)

Then Micaiah said, "Listen to this further word from the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and the armies of heaven stood around him."

God is still on the throne. Probably one of things that comforts me more than anything else during a problem or crisis, is the fact the God is still on His throne. He didn't get off to take a nap, or go watch the Super Bowl, or hit the refrigerator. He is there, in total control of all that is going on. That of course begs the question why does He allow some of the terrible things to happen if He is really on the throne. Remember, God does not cause evil, or encourage it, but at times allows it to happen as He did in the case of Job. It was only with God's permission that the devil was able to do what he did to Job. Why does God let bad things happen? Men much wiser than me can argue that one. I just accept that they do happen from time to time, and that gives me even more encouragement knowing God is there watching it all unfold, already knowing the ultimate outcome.

That leads me to the great verse that assures us God will not give us more than we can bear. He knows our breaking point. Those two Truths..God in control at all times, and Him never putting on me more than I can handle, get me through the difficult times. Many of you are facing difficulties in your life today. Unexplained problems. Circumstances that seem to be out of hand. Pressures that are becoming intolerable. Now is the very time to make your faith real. To look to God and ask Him to strengthen you. Encourage you. Give you peace. He knows how to make the heavy burdens lighter, the crooked path straight. Don't buckle when the hard times come. Be strengthened by them. Let them be times of testing, and honing, and sharpening your faith.

I love you deeply and care about you. I realize that life can be difficult. I also realize that in those difficult times, we can grow in out faith, we can learn to depend on God, we can become real people of faith. Let the difficult times make you know God in a deeper, more intimate way. Learn to trust the Truth that He is on His throne in control of all things. Take to heart His promise that He will not put on you more than you can bear. Learn how to walk through the storms of life victoriously. Be comforted that He will never leave you, never forsake you, never let you down.
