Prophetic words for now:
"If you are in the midst of facing challenges, do not forget God! Don’t allow circumstances and the enemy to dampen your faith in God. Stop relying on carnal wisdom. For some of you, reject the temptation of attempting to adopt the same approach or method by your ‘neighbours’ just because they seem to be doing well now. In spite of the difficulties now, remind yourself and your loved ones of all the good things God has done for you. Seek Him for His wisdom and solution. If God could help you in the past, He can definitely help you now, and He will surely help you in the future. So, reserve that special place in your heart for Him, only for Him."
Indeed, in times like these, remember God's goodness in your life, no matter what happens around you or no matter what happens in the world. Keep looking to God and keep trusting in God, not any human 'heroes' or any man-made 'worldly systems'. 'Heroes' or 'worldly systems' may fail, but the Lord your God will never fail you!
1 Samuel 12:6-8 (CEV) says, 'Then Samuel told them: The Lord brought your ancestors out of Egypt and chose Moses and Aaron to be your leaders. Now the Lord will be your judge. So stand here and listen, while I remind you how often the Lord has saved you and your ancestors from your enemies. After Jacob went to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to the Lord for help, and He sent Moses and Aaron. They led your ancestors out of Egypt and had them settle in this land'.
Time and again throughout history (or rather 'His story'), the Lord has always been there to help His people go through difficult times. He has done it before, and He will do it again. Your part is to keep looking to Him and keep trusting in His goodness.
1 Samuel 12:9-11 (CEV) says, 'But your ancestors forgot the Lord, so He let them be defeated by the Philistines, the king of Moab, and Sisera, the commander of Hazor’s army. Again your ancestors cried out to the Lord for help. They said, "We have sinned! We stopped worshiping You, our Lord, and started worshiping Baal and Astarte. But now, if you rescue us from our enemies, we will worship You." The Lord sent Gideon, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel to rescue you from your enemies, and you didn’t have to worry about being attacked'.
Never forget God in times like these. Spend time with Him. Never let anyone or anything in this world dampen your faith in God. Keep reminding yourself that if He has done good for you before, He can do it again, if you do not look to the left or to the right.
1 Samuel 12:14 (ESV) says, 'If you will fear the Lord and serve Him and obey His voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well'.
Instead of looking to 'human heroes' or any 'worldly systems' (because none of these is perfect), look to God, keep following Him and keep obeying His voice. He is the only One who is perfect in all His ways, and He is still (and will always be) the All-Powerful One.
And it will be well with you.
