If there had not been a Red Sea in front of the Israelites when they came out of Egypt, they would have never seen that God is the great way maker-- making a way even where there seems to be none.
If Joshua and the Israelites had not faced the walls of Jericho, they would have never known that what looks impossible for men is possible for God.
If Daniel had not been thrown into the lion's den, he would not have known that God is the great protector-- able to shut the mouths' of lions.
If the three Hebrews had not been thrown into the fiery furnace, they would never had known the great delivering power of the Lord.
If the disciples had not faced the storm, they would not have seen the mighty power that the Lord has even over nature.
If Lazarus had not died, Mary and Martha would not have seen the power that the Lord has even over death.
The point I am trying to make is this: without facing some problem, some obstacle, some trial, some difficulty, something that looks like it will destroy you, you will never see the power and glory of God.
The blind man, because of his blindness, saw the healing power of Jesus. The lame man, because he was lame, experienced the healing power of the Lord. Mary Magdalene, because she was demon possessed, saw the delivering power of the Lord.
It is in facing those hard times that the glory of God can be revealed. It is like the song says, "If I never had a problem, I wouldn't know that Jesus could solve them". This is one way all things work together for our good. The thing that you are going through is an opportunity to see the delivering, healing, overcoming, glorious power of the Most High God.
Have a great day. It is only when we face trying situations that we see God as we may have never been able to see Him otherwise.
