So what if the sun is not shining?

Were there times in our lives when things just did not go our way? Were there times in our lives when whatever could go wrong just went terribly wrong? Were there times in our lives when our prayers seemed to be ignored by God?

I guess some of us may experience negative moments in our lives. Those moments may even seem to last forever, although they didn't. And those down sessions most probably put a dent in our spirit and the our will to carry on. My suspicion is that some just gave up totally when those horrible moments hit.

While we definitely don't look forward to evil day in our lives, it may still come our way for that is one way the devil is taking advantage of the circumstance to cause us into unbelief. He jumps on every opportunity to root us out of our belief system in Christ alone! He will accuse us of the wrongs that we have committed or the lack of good that we have done.

In spite of these, are we really shaken to the extent that we no longer believe in God? The answer is a definite NO!

God is faithful to His promises to His children and His beloveds. He promises He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will always be there through our ups and downs in our lives. His love is unending and His mercy endures forever. His grace is sufficient for us for the day. It is like the fresh manna that the children of Israel collected during their days in the desert.

Just because we don't see and feel the heat from the sun doesn't imply the sun goes missing and is not shining anymore? Just because on a cloudy and rainy, and even a "perfect" storm is in the horizon, day we accuse God of going missing in action our lives? The answer is another definite NO!

The fact is that the sun is always there. When the rain has stopped and the cloud has cleared, one will be able to see and feel the heat from the sun. The truth is that God is eternal. He is there in the beginning and He is there in the end. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the Author of our faith. And most importantly, He has sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to come to be our savior.

Jesus has come to save us from eternal damnation. He came to reconcile us to God so that we can be as one with Him. Jesus came to save us from our every problem and trouble. He is the ultimate savior that will always deliver. Sometimes the timing of the deliverance may seemed to be late but His timing is always perfect! There is nothing too big or too small for God to pay attention to. Just cast all your cares upon Jesus and rest at His feet and see the manifestation of our miracles in our lives. Hallelujah!
