God looks for us

When we have trials we see what is right before us.  We are familiar that our enemy, satan, is “like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” (1 Pet 5:8) Our enemy may have evil purposes, but it would help if we could see the bigger picture.  The Lord is also looking at us, and He allows our trials so that He can show how strong we can be in Him.

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.” (2 Chron 16:9)


God intends that we should win our wars, and stand strong through our trials.  It is not important that our enemy is looking for us; it is of greater importance that our God is looking for us.  Though satan looks to devour us, our God looks to make us strong, and in our strength we will overcome.  Today, be strengthened in the inner man and do not fear, for we serve a God in Whom we can have confidence. Amen.
