Friends,
As believers, we know our place at God's right hand is assured for all eternity. Yet we must live through this world, according to the laws of time, space and gravity. We travel this life according to the promises made to us by Christ Jesus. And in His word, He promises affliction. While none of us necessarily enjoy and look forward to affliction, we have a surefire means to experience them without despair or fear ...
Psalm 119:92
Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction. [NKJV]
When God's law ... His very word ... is our delight, then affliction cannot have any lasting effect. It might temporarily distract us, inconvenience us, or even cause us great pain and distress. However, it cannot defeat us.
By focusing on the Word of God -- by taking advantage of every opportunity to study His word, search His word, and obey His word -- we will enjoy daily victory over the daily afflictions that are part of this life.
Sisters and brothers, delight in God's law.
Be encouraged, Jose
