Will You work wonders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah. Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave or your faithfulness in the place of destruction? Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psalm 88: 10-12
I have struggled and complained with and to G-D for a long time over this. Get evil away from me so I can do something for You kind of a complaining. I am learning to accept the limitations of my situation and just trust G-d, and finally yesterday, He showed me that he does work wonders for the dead. The dead shall arise and praise Him. We do declare His lovingkindness in the grave and His faithfulness in the place of destruction. His wonders are know in the dark and His righteousness in the land of forgetfulness. That's almost the perfect illustration of our salvation.
Through all the confusion, loss and suffering He still gives and what was taken was only taken from me. It's not taken from Him because He is glorified and it is remembered in that evil testifies to its worth in having taken it.
It just hit me how thoroughly even our losses and struggles glorify G-D. Though we may suffer loss because of sin and disobedience, we still reveal that G-d blessed and gives and what He gives is precious. I think He grieves our losses with us, but He doesn't lose. Even the adversary glorifies G-D in spite of himself because he reveals that we have hope and a future worth enough to devote his entire existance to stealing it. How's that for a bit of humility? It's a sick devotion, but it's still a consuming devotion to the truth.
We are human, and satan loves to
us in our weakness and humanity. But we are human and so we have hope and a future even in our weakness. Further, in Yeshua, we can please and glorify G-d in that weakness. Satan testifies to the worth of what G-d gives as he shows it is worth taking. We may have not thought enough of G-d's blessing it to take it, but ironically satan did.
So lesson for me this week is to suffer losses and discouragements in humble gratitude that G-d nevertheless gives of Himself and praise Him that though we may have lost, He never loses.
I can truly glorify G-d even in what I have lost because though I've lost, i've only lost because G-d gives. It just makes the things I regret fade into the background because those regrets still glorify G-d. And I learned that out of all the blessings I have missed out on, it truly is the time and opportunities I missed out on with G-d in this life that I will regret the most. He is the blessing.
A really ironic and precious opportunity resulting from the fall is that though Israel is G-d's chosen, it is in this life that we despite all worldly logic and reason can choose Him. And that is a huge testimony and opportunity those of us grafted in can make.
