consolation for the fair in Changing (taken from http://www.bibelgemeinde.org/lauter.html)
"In my integrity you have held me up and put me in front of you forever." - Ps .
41:12
King David wrote these words more than three thousand years. But man, after all the serious sins can be loaded on, had to talk to his god of "fairness"? It was the humility of his heart with which he confessed his sins and in which he asked Jehovah for forgiveness. He accepted reprimands, changed his behavior and demonstrated by the fact that his heart was filled with love of God (see Psalm 26:1-12) So is said of him that he was "in purity of heart and uprightness" changed. (1 Kings. 9:4) We can also reveal such a love when we walk in integrity of our hearts.
If our natural heart of an investigation requires much more the symbolic, spiritual "heart". God examined, and we should do.
We all are imperfect and therefore can not fully meet the righteous standards of God. For we all stumble in many ways, whether in speech or in action. (James 3:2) So we understand by the concept of "purity of heart" or rather the Ganzherzigkeit the complete dedication of heart God and his will on. to preserve this integrity is possible for us, if we believe in our Heavenly Father, trust him firmly and rely on his power to save us.
"Only in God still trust my soul,
of him comes my salvation. Only in God still trust my soul! because he is my expectation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I will not waver.
On God rests my salvation and my glory 'the rock of my strength, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people! pour out your hearts before him!
God is our refuge! - Psalm 62, from 1.5 to 8
How clear and beautiful is told in this psalm words, that we in every difficult situation and in every painful experience that meets us, now in cardiac arrest will and should focus all our trust only in our gracious heavenly Father.
A large cloud around us
We make it were the end of a long line of faithful witness of God. She goes back to Abel, Abel and belong to it except men and women like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, etc. (see Heb 11:1-12:1) Despite more severe temptations of Job also not on the path of God. He trusted without reserve to the highest. Hard, he maintained the integrity of his Heart (Job 27:5,5), and also by his loyalty, he made enemies of God a liar
With perseverance and the power of God, the Apostle Paul endured many things: jail, beatings shipwreck, danger, thirst, cold and nakedness. He was also "often in mortal danger." (2 Cor 11:23-27) Paul was never spared, he endured these hardships for the sake of his divine mission, and as a courageous truth warrior delighted the heart of Heavenly Father. "Be wise, my son, and rejoice in my heart that I could answer my charm" - Proverbs 27:11
An outstanding role model among all the long line of faithful witness, the "Author and finisher of our faith," our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. All attacks on the part of the adversary bounced unsuccessful in his unwavering loyalty from his heavenly father. We know Jesus' temptations in the desert when he fasted for forty days there and prayed. We also know his wonderful answers of which is the third, "Get thee hence, Satan! for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord your God and serve him only '. "- 5th Mt 4:1-11
This was not the last attack from Satan to the Lord, but the devil was powerless when it came to bring God's son of the integrity of his heart, "for the joy set before him endured the cross. " - 5 Heb. 12:2,3
In Mt 10:22 the Lord says to his disciples. "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake" How very true but that word has in the lives of true Christians! And in Mt 5:11, "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you and utter every word evil against you falsely, for my sake." What a role model for us all this, the fidelity and in such assessments on a "fair "bear! We worry about siblings who must endure the opposition of her relatives or live in a religiously divided house. (Matthew 10:34-36) We feel my heart with all the siblings connected, who have a disability or suffer from a long illness. But - why all this suffering? has
What sense the suffering, can take refuge
and what we do!
investigated Without doubt, the adversary Christians to "swallow", whether human or demonic means. (1 Pet 5:8) Satan used tribulations or other difficulties in order to destroy our relationship with our Heavenly Father, so that we are fickle and give up our Unbowed nature. He is a cunning enemy we do not underestimate him. He knows the inclination of the heart to sin, and he can drill into a way when our vigilance subsides. He was not Judas Iscariot in the heart, to betray the Lord? (John 13:2) But we are not at all the abandoned without protection. "Now you Unterwerfet God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. "- Jas. 4:7
If we are hit by adversity, we are able to pray to God as David did: "Have mercy upon me, O God, have mercy on me! For to thee my soul takes refuge, and I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until passed by the destruction. "(Ps. 57:1) The sacred children of God we can be certain that our Heavenly Father to us over time will give relief. Since tests can stop
but some time we have to practice our patience. The Apostle Paul exhorted the Hebrew Christians to remember the previous day in which they endured much struggle of suffering. He added: "For you have need of endurance, so that you, after you have done the will of God, davontraget the promise." (Heb. 10:32-36) What does "carry the promise"? Does not like to see the Lord, "as is" (1 John 3: 2) to be made equal to him and MitSegner to be for all families of the earth?
This delightful promise of our great God is a solid basis for the certainty that we need in any situation, even in the greatest distress, can be very quiet and trusting. He alone is our refuge, and according to his promise sure all our affairs for our own good, that is, to our highest welfare of exercise.
inexhaustible consolation
some situations we may have to endure to the end of our pilgrimage run, but we consider: ongoing trials give us the opportunity to prove our devotion to God and to delight his heart. (See Proverbs 27:11) We also receive from Him the strength that is needed to persevere in faithfulness. The Apostle Paul wrote, "All I can do to him who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13) This promise we believe, for it proves true again and again "to your brotherhood, which is in the world." - Sl Pet 5:9,10
God saves us through His Holy Spirit. "If you will be vilified in the name of Christ, blessed are you! The spirit of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you "- 1. Pet 4:14
God comforts us through the answer to our prayers. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus "- Phil 4:6,7;. see also Ps 65:2
Yes, it is comforting to know that our ER keep in all our afflictions will. He is the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. (2 Kings 1:3,4) "God is our refuge and strength, a help, found abundantly in tribulations." (Ps. 46:1 ff) What gives us but a huge incentive and cheerful courage, our Heavenly Father to serve with complete dedication and loyalty and to remain loyal all the time!
siblings; endure despite various hardships make us courage. This was done, other than watch the faithfulness of the apostle Paul. He wrote to the Philippians: "But I want, that you may know, brothers, that my circumstances are more advised to advance the gospel, so that my bonds in Christ was revealed ... and that most of the brothers by gained trust in the Lord through my bonds have much longer presume to speak the word of God without fear "(Phil. 1:12-14) The fact that others -. retain their integrity in spite of tribulation, encourages us to remain faithful. On the other hand, we are, and if we keep our integrity in examinations, for others a boost. It is wonderful and very faith-strengthening, if we have made such a blessing on our life experiences on her faithful fatherly hand already.
draw comfort from God's word
God's Word is an inexhaustible source of encouragement. (See Rom. 15:4) is not our trust in Jehovah than to an incomparable liberators strengthened if, for example, we read the report about the miracle of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt or the preservation of the Jews in the days of Queen Esther? And what hardships and humiliations endured patiently Joseph before he was raised by Pharaoh? Surely we can learn that God's children, thanks to the power that it confers, can endure suffering.
The "encouragement of the Scriptures" can really fill us with hope and perseverance. The comforting assurances of the Bible cause that we feel safe in the caring hands of the Heavenly Father and be completely quiet. "So Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the right time, by her fling all your care upon him;. For he cares for you" (1 Pet 5:6,7) What a comforting thought! It can happen to anything that he does not or has not managed.
also gave us the assurance Paul: "But God is faithful, who will not allow her to your wealth may be tested, but with the temptation also make a will, so that you can bear it. "(1 Corinthians 10:13) What unspeakable comfort and what a wonderful strengthening and encouragement!
preserve trust in the God of comfort
It is a blessed assurance of faith that God never ordained him his children will leave. (Ps. 23:4, 37:28) It is also a help to remember that through our endurance honored our father in heaven and glorified. to delight the heart of God in this way is most certainly a privilege. - Proverbs 23:15,16
We want to do a heart full of love, our best to our brothers and sisters also be a cause for celebration. In intimate communion with one another, we want to encourage each other in faithfulness to Him and His glorious truth, because we know that we will receive the divine principles imply that for all our feeble efforts of a rich blessing. This blessing, beyond asking and understanding, and the reward is a blessed by our Lord we will receive if we remain faithful and preserve our integrity to the end of our pilgrimage run.
