“Though the Lord gave you adversity for food and suffering for drink, he will still be with you to teach you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.” -Isaiah 30:20-21 (NLT)
We can know and trust God because He has promised that in the most difficult circumstances of our life, He is with us and providing for us. He promises to never desert us. If we have been going through adverse condition and if our way has been more difficult and caused us suffering, God knows this. Just as the people of Israel, in the time Isaiah was God’s prophet experienced periods of judgment because of disobedience, God promised to open their eyes to the truth of the message of His prophets (Isaiah 29:24). Adversity is a bridge to a deeper relationship with God if we are willing to cross it. Through it, the Lord reveals Himself to us, helps us to understand His ways, He teaches us to listen to Him, and strengthens our faith. The Lord promises to lead and to guide us, His people. He doesn’t do “hide and seek,” games or make it difficult for us to find Him and His will. Actually it’s the opposite, God will move heaven and earth to show us His will if necessary. If we really want to do His will, He promises to make it clear to us.
