❛ DO NOT PANIC: YOU ARE IN A WASHING MACHINE!!! ❜, Ps Jabu Mapumulo

📌 BIBLE TEXT:
"So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." (2 Kings 6:16-17)

📌 HIGHLIGHTS:
2 Things God wants to clarify for us this morning
✅ GOD IS ABLE TO PROTECT HIS PEOPLE BY HIS POWER!
✅ GOD INTENDS TO TEACH US TO SEE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES IN LIGHT OF HIS ABILITY TO SEE US THROUGH!

"It was because of His love for erring Israel that God permitted the Syrians to scourge them. It was because of His compassion for those whose moral power was weak that He raised up Jehu to slay wicked Jezebel and all the house of Ahab. Once more, through a merciful providence, the priests of Baal and of Ashtoreth were set aside and their heathen altars thrown down. God in His wisdom foresaw that if temptation were removed, some would forsake heathenism and turn their faces heavenward, and this is why He permitted calamity after calamity to befall them. His judgments were tempered with mercy; and when His purpose was accomplished, He turned the tide in favor of those who had learned to inquire after Him." (Ellen G. White, Prophets and Kings, 254.2)

2 Principles to remember from this story:
✅WHAT GOD ALLOWS, HUMANITY CAN GO THROUGH!
"13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is FAITHFUL, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

✅PROBLEMS ARE NECESSARY VEHICLES FOR OUR SALVATION!
 👉 👉 👉  Problems are like a WASHING MACHINE!!!
👉 They twist us
👉 They spin us
👉 They knock us around
But at the end we come out :
❤️ CLEANER than before
❤️ BRIGHTER than before
❤️ BETTER than before

"Between the servant of God and the hosts of armed foemen was an encircling band of heavenly angels. They had come down in mighty power, not to destroy, not to exact homage, but to encamp round about and minister to the Lord's weak and helpless ones." (Ellen G. White, Prophets and Kings, p. 256.4)
