Joe 2:17 “… Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine
heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should
they say among the people, Where is their God?”
There is to be special concern of God’s glory in our
troubles – “Lord give not thine heritage to reproach.”, meaning the
glory of God must not become absent in our struggles, and no longer celebrated.
This only lends fodder to the world’s attack to create doubt amongst others by
labeling the believer as “poor and beggarly” claiming, “where is their
God?” (Deut 32:37). With today’s confusion, doubt, and attacks at a
feverish peak we must be a voice of victory to God’s glory, not another voice
of violence. Let the Lord do our fighting (Exo 14:14) we need to only follow
and live with a testimony that glorifies His goodness; (Psa 115:3) “But our
God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.” If the world sees our life as an illustration
to question God’s glory, it should cause us to question our faith!
The glory of God should glow in our life in such a way that
it confounds the world (1 Cor 1:27) … HSAY
