October 11: It's Time to Shine

"And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance."

Romans 5:3

To have a testimony you must first go through a test. For supernatural glory to be manifested, you must realize that your testing is not for your benefit alone, but for God’s glory to be made known through you. Paul went through persecution, attacks, mockery, abandonment, stoning, and great opposition. His journey throughout his earthly life was like a walk down “Hell Boulevard.”

When Paul said we glory in tribulation, he meant that despite what comes our way, we can make it through with peace, with joy and with God’s arms wrapped around us. It is impossible to appreciate someone’s glory until you know his or her story.

The man who wrote one-third of the New Testament, who knew several languages and was educated to the highest degree of his day was shunned and despised by his contemporaries and the church because of his past as a murderer and persecutor of Christians. The religious leaders continuously challenged him because of his new teaching. When Paul was on trial for his faith before Festus, Felix and Agrippa, he revisited his past to testify of God’s grace.

What you have gone through is for God’s glory, and at the right time, Jesus will shine through you.

To reflect God’s glory is to shine where you have been rebuffed.

A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing."

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
