«The Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said,’In turning away from sin and in rest, you will be saved.Your strength will come by being quiet and by trusting’ » (Isaiah 30:15, NW).
IT IS SAID that a king once said to the great wise men of his kingdom: am having a beautiful ring made with the best diamonds that could found. I want to put a message in it that will help me in difficult moments. It has to be a short message that fits in the ring, but is also very valuable. «Time passed, but not one of the wise men dared to present a phrase to the king that was valuable enough to help him in difficult times. However, there was in the kingdom a very humble old man who had worked in the court the monarch’s father. In fact, he loved the king as much as if he belonged to his own family, so he had the boldness to go and speak to the king: «Excuse me, your Highness,» he said, «I know I am not a wise man, but I have the message that you need.
«Immediately thereafter, the old man wrote the message on a tiny piece of paper, folded it up, and gave it to the king, saying: «Don’t read it yet. Keep it in your ring and read it only when everything else has failed and you find yourself in an extremely difficult moment.
«That moment arrived. The kingdom had been invaded and his enemies were pursuing him when the king came to a precipice. He did not know whether to wait for his captors to come or throw himself into the void. he remembered that there was a message in his ring. He opened it and read it. It said, a-his too shall pass.» Those words gave him peace. He hid among the trees and his life was saved.
Knowing how to transform the difficulties of life into opportunities of growth and change for the better, and knowing how to view them as temporary gift. It is not possible to live believing that you are a daughter of God and feeling defeated. It is not possible to spend each day on this earth like someone who does not know how to depend on God. «Your strength will come by being quiet and by trusting» (Isaiah 30:15, NLV). When you learn to rest in Him, you will see a radical change in your life and in your attitude toward life.
Do not allow the shadows of pessimism to cloud the clarity of your thoughts. If you are with Jesus, this too shall pass.
