You're In a Position of Privilege

Last night while I was having prayer and devotions, God shined a light on another facet of His goodness. Our Father doesn't have to do anything for us. Just because we pray, doesn't mean He has to listen. Just because we have a need, doesn't mean God has to meet it. Just because we cry out, doesn't mean He has to save us.

Yet He does. Our God has given us the privilege of His personal touch.

But He doesn't stop there.

The Lord could make the lives of those He loves a breeze. We could pass our time on earth without a care, concern, worry, or need if He so chose.

But God loves us so much that He allows us to arrive to positions of need. He allows circumstances to arise that may cause pain. He lets certain instances come to pass that confound us to where we don't know how we'll survive.

Why?

So, we can have the privilege of knowing His miraculous power firsthand.

There's something about experiencing God's awesome power personally that supercedes any scripture or Bible story or testimony you can find. When it's your needs that are on the line and God comes through, there is no explaining the fullness of joy and overwhelming love that washes over your spirit.

So, don't be downtrodden when tough circumstances come into your life. Keep your chin up as you fight against the enemy. Your God is watching your every step and guiding everything that hangs in the balance. Take courage knowing that you are being privileged to be placed in a position to experience God's wonder.

The harder the press, the more glorious the triumph. Not everyone can say that they've experienced God's glory personally on this earth. You will!
