“The darkest hour is just before dawn.”
The English theologian and historian Thomas Fuller appears to be the first person to commit the notion that “the darkest hour is just before the dawn.” Although this is not true from a scientific concept, when we are suffering from the harsh trials and sorrows of our lives, we are not seeking scientific theories or relativities.
If you are a Christian believer, then you will face an unresolvable challenge that requires God’s Divine Intervention at some point in your life.
Steps to Build Your Faith and Rely on God for Victory
- Pray and ask God for help.
- Study the Scriptures, memorize and journal God’s promises.
- Believe in total faith while you wait for Divine Intervention.
- God requires total dependence on Him. Do not help God with plan B!
- Long-suffering [patience] is a Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
“Wait for and confidently expect the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD.” (Psalm 27:14, Amplified Bible).
Face your Test With Courage and Strength
When Paul was in prison, his protege, young Timothy feared persecution. The Apostle reminded him, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7).
God Promise to His People [Isaiah 40–verses, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26, and 28-31]
To whom then will you liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare to Him?
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers…
To whom then will you liken Me,
Or to whom shall I be equal? says the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these things,
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might, He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
The Struggle is Real, but Victory is Sure! Praise God that we never have to wonder or fear our Heavenly Father’s desire and promise to deliver us.
Prayer: God, we need Your help. We pray for strength and guidance from the Holy Spirit. Thank you for the spiritual growth and character changes that will occur because of our trials and sufferings. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
