 Job 38:22-23 “… hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble…”

It can be difficult in seeing our trials as great opportunities, often appearing as obstacles instead. And yet the Father reveals to Job a chosen and proving way of His great love, and glorious manifestations. God used hail to help Joshua and the Israelites win a battle (Jos 10:11). If we can see such revelation, then clouds become rainbows, and mountains as paths of ascension. God’s blessings often appear as rough packages, and until they are unwrapped and revealed, we fail to see the treasure within. God has all the forces of nature and man at His control and restraint as His resources for our good. If we could see beyond today as God knows, we’d see the light beyond the darkness that would reveal the path which leads to the glory of the Father’s goodness.

For the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present… HSAY

 Mat 15:23 “But he answered her not a word…”

Why did Jesus appear to have such a hard reproach? We’ve all, like the Canaanite women, felt the fear, sorrow, pain that’s led us to cry for mercy that seems to find no response. Picture an image of three persons knelt in prayer. As Jesus approaches the first, He bent over them in tenderness and grace with a smile of love speaking softly into the ear. Leaving and approaching the second He but only placed His hand on the bowed head and gave a look of approval. The third He passed abruptly by without stopping. With the first person we see His great love, the second we see His approval, and the third we can assume His disappointment. But what do we miss in this scenario? The first needed all of Jesus’ love, thought and help in the moment. Without they would fail and fall. The second has a stronger faith and deeper love which Jesus can trust them to trust Him however things may go. The third, whom Jesus seemed to be disappointed in, Jesus said I’m training them by quick and drastic processes for the highest and holiest of service. And they know and trust  me so intimately that they don’t require an outward approval. They are not dismayed by circumstances, but prayerful knowing Jesus is still working without words spoken. When Jesus speaks to you, it’s out of His great mercy knowing it’s needed. Feeling His presence, He’s assuring you to keep walking the path your own. Silence, He’s preparing you for a great opportunity and work due to His great faith in you!

When God is silent, pray to be still and what for His great power to work through you… HSAY

 Heb 11:15  “And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.”

We all face great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. If we let worry and doubt overpower our faith in God’s Word, then we’re eliminating the Word of God to produce truth and promises in our lives. It’s this crucible of our faith that provides the very opportunity we need to empower ourselves in God’s promises. God’s the provider of opportunity are we opportunistic in our faith to obtain Godly results in our life.

Every trial in life is an opportunity to see God’s faithfulness… HSAY
