Verse: Revelations 1:7
Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
Reflections:
Ah, those darn clouds. Haha! I always thought tribulations were God's way of teaching us something, so I was surprised to read, "It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something."
I'm sure that all of us had our share of hard times. I remember someone once telling me that we're in one of three situations: We're in troubled times, getting out of troubled times, or gonna get a helping of it very soon. So God is always trying to show us that we have to unlearn the corruptions the world has ingrained in us. Stop depending on yourself to make decisions or provisions. Depend only on God like that of a child...
Hmm...That also makes you think don't it? Is it possible to get back to that time of innocence? That utter dependence on God? My mind says "HECK NO," but my heart wants to say "HECK YES!"
Let's remember to thank him for trials because he's just trying to tell us to rely on him and that HE will take care of us. He's just showing his love for us.
