As we rethink, i believe that in the difficult circumstances the best way to respond is to look up to God, is to trust Him, and never give up, but also appreciate the sustaining power of the One who is not only a spectator in our difficult circumstances but who has our backs, the One who sees our sorrows, tears and oppression and allows it to produce in us what only 'this difficult circumstance' can produce, the beauty of patience, the beauty of wisdom, the beauty of Christ. says, 1 peter 2: 21 onwards says : "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
We are to thank God, worship, and praise Him as we look forward to our better tomorrow. I see this response of many who were oppressed and were under difficult situations and they produced the best hymns, wrote things to encourage and show the sustaining grace and control of the ultimate good GOD, who is just, loving and good. Their legacy lives on, and we will do well when we follow their examples.
