36 And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you would take Benjamin. All this has come against me.” ~ Genesis 42:36
Jacob, after losing his favorite son, Joseph, lost Simeon, and then he felt like he was about to lose Benjamin if he sent him down to Egypt with his brothers to buy grain. He did not realize that by obeying, by going through his Ziklag, he would have all of his sons back from the dead, including Joseph.
Sometimes that which looks like it will destroy us is exactly what God uses to give us back all that the Devil has stolen from us. The key is that we have to face it. We have to endure it. We have to remember what Joseph said about his Ziklag, about his mountain. What [the Devil] intended for our evil, God uses for our good.
So, if you’re going through a trying or difficult time. Hold on to the LORD. Walk boldly through the fire because the LORD is with us, even in the flames.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Walk Through The Fire.
