This morning I saw a vision that made me understand the importance of clinging to God. When turbulence or testing comes, clinging to God is the best thing we can do. And every morning, when we need a new dispensation of grace, we will receive it if we wait and cling to Him. Clinging to the Lord is when we grow strong. That's why God allows a sifting--so we can hold on tightly, anchor ourselves in truth, and then go on to a greater strength.
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
Luke 22:31- 32
If we will cling to the Lord, then our faith will not fail. If we cling to Him, we will not desire to turn back. This is what's necessary to overcome any problems. That's what's necessary to gain spiritual strength.
God should be our go-to in every situation--we need to always go to Him first. And more than that, we need to realize that He wants to come to us. He is our ever present help (Psalms 46:1). He is always with us. If we realize this, then let's also realize that clinging to Him is our ever present solution.
"For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:7-8
He has been our help, and He will be our help. He's upheld us in the past, and He will continue to uphold us now. What comfort! We can go through a trial knowing that if we suffer, we can also reign with Him. We can turn back, have our faith renewed, and go on to new heights with the Lord. The more tightly we try to hold on to Him, the more He'll let us do the same. Let's allow Him to take us from strength to strength.
