GOD'S WORD

I sometimes wonder when God places us in our own personal "lions den" of affliction, if He isn't waiting to see how strong our faith is, or how quickly we will call out to Him? So many times when we hit these horrendous situations, we fall to pieces, instead of falling into God's word. There can be tears, of course, but to live in those tears is a different matter!
When God's word is part of your wardrobe it will become a natural thing for you to wear it everywhere, and it will be a natural response to everything......almost like your next breath!That's how your response should be in every situation. Let God's word settle it.People will say that it's easier said than done,....... but only if you don't wear it all the time! If you smile all the time, then when a hurt comes, it will be only natural for you to smile during the pain too. If you know your scripture ahead of time, when you need it during times of stress or pain, the Holy Spirit will bring it to mind.
Stay tuned to God's word all the time, and it will make the lions den less appetizing for the lion's and will pour cool water on your furnace of affliction!
