Going Through Agony?
The Holy Spirit is not a spirit of grief, but a joyful spirit. The Holy Spirit will never give you a long face. Apostle Paul encouraged the believers to rejoice in the Lord, while he was in chains!
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Peter and John were warned by the rulers and elders not to speak to anyone in the Name of Jesus and they were persecuted (Acts 4). But they rejoiced in being persecuted for His Name. If any of you are being mistreated physically or emotionally for your faith and walk with Jesus, rejoice for the privilege of being insulted for His Name which is the Name above all names.
However, we ourselves are responsible for certain agony and issues that we’re facing in life; which is due to our sinful deeds and living against the Word and will of God. You currently may be reaping such consequences in life. Some others may be suffering/ lacking progress in life due to their immaturity in handling what was entrusted to them – education/profession, etc. There still may be another group of people who aren’t able to figure out the reason for their distress – whether it's their fault/ their parents’ fault – unreasonable pain.
Our Lord Jesus is an expert in handling pain, because the pain He endured in the garden of Gethsemane is a lot greater than any pain that human life has ever dealt with. However, He did not go through it all His life.
Matthew 26:42
He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
Jesus became a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of entire mankind. Sometimes, you may have to face troubles due to someone else’s fault; and it is surely painful.
Psalm 34:19
The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;
Noah and Job are examples of those who led a righteous life in their times. They did not engage themselves in any sinful deeds.
Psalm 34:4
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
You may be facing some threats in life today. But if you would seek the Lord; God who is able, faithful, compassionate and merciful will deliver you from all fears and troubles.
Psalm 116:8-9
For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
Today, Jesus is wiping away your tears. If you are in thoughts to give up your life, today God’s mighty hand is being stretched toward you; hold onto Him, forget the past and take new steps to a victorious life with Christ Jesus.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
It may seem like the end of your life. But take courage, because God is with you and the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead will raise you up from the ashes of defeat. Nothing is too hard for the Lord; and you are safe in His mighty arms. May God’s comfort and peace rule in your hearts forever. Amen!
