I know a man who has been racked with pain and infirmity which landed him in the hospital incapable of doing much. Disappointment filled his life because he could not even go to church. Laying in his hospital bed one Sunday morning, he observed two separate TV ministers preaching on the same theme. A theme that encouraged him out of his disappointment and depression. Nothing changed physically,he was still temporarily bed ridden. However, spiritually, deep inside, hope sprang up and lifted him up from despair.
The Bible teaches us, “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” (Isaiah 59:19)
He was reminded that no matter how bad things look, how weak and inadequate you might feel, The Holy Spirit of God is there and will not, I say will not, allow you to be utterly cast down.
Our friend in this testimony got up, not physically because he couldn’t. But his faith rose from deep inside with the experience and knowledge of God who cannot lie, and got up to meet another day. Challenge conquered.
