I read this great article today over on Frank Viola’s blog entitled “He Takes Away So He Might Establish.”
It’s powerful reading talk about how God always brings the darkness before light, the first before the second, and that the Second is Always Better! We see this all over scripture, how God brings the night, the darkness, and the pain before He brings the light and His glory. It’s seen in the story of Job, David, and Christ himself. God gave us and removed the OT covenant so He could provide a new covenant, Jesus, that is so much greater. Praise Him!
In Genesis 1, God brought the darkness before the light, the evening before the morning. May we praise Him that when our day is ending, His day is beginning! “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Ps. 30:5)
I found out today that a friend who has been battling cancer for quite awhile is in the hospital one final time. She has fought hard and long, but the doctors have nothing else they can. Pray for Aaron, her husband, and their children during this time. Reading this article reminds me that He must take away so that He might establish something better… I know He is doing that for Janet!
Thankful for having a God that is wiser than I….
