Rabbi Schneider - Hang on and Cling to God
God is so good. God is so good. God is so good. He is so good to me. Amen. Praise the Lord. We love you today, Father God. We thank You for your goodness. And we rejoice in You today Abba Father in Yeshua's name. Thank You for the gift of Your Son. First Peter, Chapter five, verse ten. "After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you".
Are you going through a trial today? Listen what the Lord says if you're going through a trial right now. After you have suffered for a little while... you might be suffering right now. But after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
You may be going through a trial right now. You may be feeling a bit wobbly, but you know what? Hang on to Him. Because in the midst of the trial, as you're hanging on to Him, He is perfecting you, confirming you, strengthening you, and establishing you.
And in fact, my beloved friend, He's using the trial to do that. Isn't that awesome to know that you're not going to be feeling the way you are right now, forever. You right now might feel like you're shaky, like you're not grounded, you might feel weak, unstable. But as you hang on and cling to the Lord, "devekut" is the Hebrew name, cling to God through this trial.
In the midst of it, God is doing something beneath the surface. He's confirming you, strengthening you, rooting you, and establishing you. So be encouraged, my friend. You might be going through something right now, but God's purpose in it is to establish you and ground you in a solid foundation, in His Son and in His love. So hang on. You've got the victory.
