 ”For You have tried us O God; You have refined us as silver is refined, You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.  You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, YET You brought us out into a place of abundance” (Psalm 66:10-12)

Have you  ever noticed how important the “little” words are in Scripture?  Words like “but”, “and”, “the”, and this word “yet”?  Heck.  These folks had been through a living hell.  Tried, tired, captured, oppressed, conquered, and put through fire and water.  None of which are fun experiences in and of themselves.  But, throw them all together and you have a recipe for night of the living dead, and you are one of the living dead!  They were beaten down, ready to throw in the towel, take a handful of pills and just end it all.  What’s even worse, is that God was the One Who led or  allowed all of these things to happen to them!  Talk about wondering if God loves you!  I am sure they questioned that one a great deal.

Then comes the “YET”!  After having taken them through all of these horrible places, He brought them OUT into an abundant place!  Way to go God!  Yep, weeping may endure for a night, but joy really does come in the morning. There was a light at the end of the tunnel and it was not a train.  It was the glory and blessing of Father!

For all who know and walk with God, there is always a “yet”.  Things may seem bad, chaotic, dark, and hopeless at times, but for us, but there is always a “yet”!  He will never leave us in the pit or in the net.  We always pass “through” the fire and the water.  Though we are tested and tried, as well as seemingly put through the ringer, we must not forget that HE is in control!  His desire is never to leave us in any of these places, but take us through them and bring us out into an abundant and blessed place!  He always has and He always will, even if it does not seem like it at the moment.

Do you feel like He has forsaken you?  Do you question His love for you because of the hard or dark place that you find yourself right now?  Are you ready to quit?  Don’t!  He has a “yet” for you too!  Just throw yourself into His arms of love and trust His heart for you.  Your “yet” is coming.  In fact, it may just be right around the next bend in the road!  Don’t forget…”yet”, “yet”, “yet”!!!
