It Can Get Better
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” - 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
There is a song by Rev. Timothy Wright that highlights about Jesus, He “May not come when you want Him. But He's on time. In times of trouble, found Him to be a friend of mine. In time storm clouds rise, He'll be there. All your burdens, I know the Lord will help you to bear…Weeping may endure for a night. Keep the faith it will be alright.”
When you are in a dark place and you don’t feel as though you are ever going to recover, remember, trouble does not last always. You are going THROUGH a storm, not going TO a storm; meaning that you are not meant to stay in that dark place.
Often times, it’s in those seasons that we draw closer to God because we have run out of ways to self-medicate ourselves. We know our strength will not do. We need a higher power to help us cope with those things in which we struggle.
It can get better. The relationship can get better. The job can get better. Your health can get better. Your family life can be better. Your spiritual strength and power can be better.
Whatever it is that you have lost hope in, God wants to tell you today: don’t lose hope because He isn’t finished with it yet and He isn’t finished with you yet. He wants you to trust that He is working and that this story isn’t over.
Wait on Him. Hope in Him. And know that not only can it get better...but it WILL get better. Keep trusting. Keep believing.
