Keep Clinging To God

Posted on by Dr. Linda Agnes Knowles

Each of us, who are serving the Lord and loving Him with all our hearts, goes through times of testing, and sometimes those times of testing seem to come out of nowhere.

In those times, our character is sharpened and refined, and we may find ourselves close to the edge, ready to give up, ready to raise the flag of surrender and go our own way.

God has heard your cries.  He has not forgotten you.  Cling to Him.  Hold on to His Truth.  Stand on His promises.  Don’t give up.  Remember you are already made victorious, and He is the peace that surpasses all understanding.  Make sure you are with clean hands and a pure heart as the Scriptures speak about. Lean on Him.  Trust Him.

HE SHOULDERS ALL YOUR WORRIES & CARES

“Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you.” –1 Peter 5:7

YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN NOR FORSAKEN

“Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.  Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before me.”  -Isaiah 49:15-16

“He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” -Hebrews 13:5

YOU ARE CHOSEN, A ROYAL PRIEST, A HOLY NATION

“But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” -1 Peter 2:9

God will deliver you out of your troubles and give you boldness as you continue trusting in Him…  for He is Who He says He is, and He will do what He says He will do.

LET ME CLIMB

“Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.” -Psalm 24:3-6 (Berean Study Bible)

“O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill? He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart, who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend, who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath, who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.” -Psalm 15:1-5 (Berean Study Bible)

ABBA, let me climb Your holy hills because that is where You are, and help me to know right from wrong, to keep my hands clean and my heart pure before You. LORD, I need to hear Your voice, to receive Your instruction and counsel, to learn Your ways, to know Your Word and Your commands. LORD, Your will is all that matters and Your righteousness is what I seek. There is no other god before You, and nothing compares to You for You are glorious, arrayed with splendor and majesty. Let me climb Your holy hills, LORD, where you dwell, and make my feet like the deer so I am able to climb these mountain heights. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
