God Know What You're Going Through

God Knows

I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling place (Isaiah 18:4, RV).

Assyria was marching against Ethiopia, the people of which are described as tall and smooth. And as the armies advance, God makes no effort to arrest them; it seems as though they will be allowed to work their will. He is still watching them from His dwelling place, the sun still shines on them; but before the harvest, the whole of the proud army of Assyria is smitten as easily as when sprigs are cut off by the pruning hook of the husbandman.

Is not this a marvelous conception of God--being still and watching? His stillness is not acquiescence. His silence is not consent. He is only biding His time, and will arise, in the most opportune moment, and when the designs of the wicked seem on the point of success, to overwhelm them with disaster. As we look out on the evil of the world; as we think of the apparent success of wrong-doing; as we wince beneath the oppression of those that hate us, let us remember these marvelous words about God being still and beholding.

There is another side to this. Jesus beheld His disciples toiling at the oars through the stormy night; and watched though unseen, the successive steps of the anguish of Bethany, when Lazarus slowly passed through the stages of mortal sickness, until he succumbed and was borne to the rocky tomb. But He was only waiting the moment when He could interpose most effectually.

Is He still to thee? He is not unobservant; He is beholding all things; He has His finger on thy pulse, keenly sensitive to all its fluctuations. He will come to save thee when the precise moment has arrived.
--Daily Devotional Commentary

It may seem that you are standing alone and that God has forgotten about you. You may be facing the most troubling of times and the clock is rapidly approaching the midnight hour. This is the point in which you must remember that God is the author of time, but He is never bound by it. God is not blind to your struggle. He is not unsympathetic to your pain. He is the master of perfect timing. He knows the exact moment in which to bring you out so that you get the complete victory and He gets the ultimate glory.

The walls may be closing in all around you and all of the evidence points to your demise, but God is a show up God and the moment that your storm began, the “show-up” process was initiated. The enemy is pointing at the clock. He is continually whispering sweet nothings of negativity and doubt. Cast your eyes not on the physical evidence of your circumstance, but look unto the Hills of Heaven, from which comes your help. Gaze into the spiritual realm to see the truth unfold through faith.

God is not absent in your struggle, He sitting still, waiting on the perfect time to execute the perfect rescue. He has promised to never leave nor forsake you. He has promised that he would move over this entire earth to prove himself strong on your behalf. Has he ever failed in his word? Has he ever come short of a promise? Can you recall a moment where He has missed the mark? No. He has a perfect record. He has not missed your moment; He is simply setting you up for His supernatural movement. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace

God Hears: God Sees; God Knows

There is someone out there who is going through an extremely difficult time right now. It seems that the load that you are bearing is going to break you. It seems that every where you turn there is bad news. I had someone tell me on yesterday that they could not win for losing. Right now it seems as if the clouds are so dark that you can't see one foot in front of you and the uncertainty is sucking the life right out of you. I just want to take this moment to reassure you that God is cognizant of your struggles; He is keenly aware of your pain and he sees your tears.

Take a look at what God tells Moses concerning the Israelites' suffering at the hands of the Egyptians:

"7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land,(U) a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus 3:7-9, NIT).”

God assured Moses that He was perfectly aware of the suffering of His people and that He had come because of their suffering to deliver them. My friend, God knows what you are going through, and He is working in the background to produce His glory through your circumstances. When the vicissitudes of life roll in, don't despair; God works in the midst of uncertainty to produce eternal lucidity based on responsive faith.

Let's take a look at what the Psalmist had to say about God's relationship with His people:

"For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation and adorn the wretched with victory Ps. 149:4, AMP)."

I want you to know that your breakthrough is coming, simply trust and believe that your tears are temporary. I say as the Apostle Paul, "...consider that the suffering of this current moment cannot be compared to the glory that will be revealed in us (Roman 8:18).

I want to encourage you to hold on, your change is coming. God is performing His promise in your life as I write this. Do not allow you circumstances to dictate your stance of faith.

God is moving in your darkness to accomplish His will. Remember that authentic faith is efficacious. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace
