Revelation

Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
As Christians when trials come our way we lean towards thinking that we may have done something wrong. If we are among those following hard after Him, trials will come. Trials are not a barometer of how much the Lord loves us or does not love us. It is not a barometer of God’s favor.
What is a barometer of His love and favor is the revelation that comes from Him in the times of trial to cope with the difficult situation. As long as we are living in this fallen world, pain is part of it. What sets us apart though is what the Lord will reveal to us on how to cope with the situation.
From the time it was revealed to Noah to build an ark to the revelations given to John on the Patmos Island in all these instances the Lord was near.

Take courage in your dire situation and ask the Lord to reveal Himself. He is faithful and will not only bring the revelation but also the required redemption in the crisis. Our survival in our crisis is the revealed arm of God!
