It only gets better in God

Good morning dear friends

Do you know it always gets better in God

Proverbs 4:18 Amplified

But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn,

That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day

I have proved these words unconditionally in my own life I have truly experienced these words - as I have faced many afflictions.

Psalm 34:19

Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous,

But the Lord rescues him from them all

The King James translation uses the words afflictions instead of hardship. He rescues us from them ALL.

Do not lose hope in God. He is some-how, some-way and some-day turning your situation around. You may be facing hardship but you can still find grace and strength in God.

He WILL take you through into Victory.

I also will testify for every hardship you walk through, he will bless you in measure, to every situation you face.

Read these words in Psalm 34

I pray they will encourage you today.

Psalm 34 Amplified

1 I will bless the Lord at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;

The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.

3 O [a]magnify the Lord with me,

And let us lift up His name together.

4 I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked to Him and were radiant;

Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

And saved him from all his troubles.

7 The [b]angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience],

And He rescues [each of] them.

8 O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good;

How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him.

9 O [reverently] fear the Lord, you His saints (believers, holy ones);

For to those who fear Him there is no want.

10 The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,

But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me;

I will teach you to fear the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience].

12 Who is the man who desires life

And loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil

And your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Turn away from evil and do good;

Seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous [those with moral courage and spiritual integrity]

And His ears are open to their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears

And rescues them from all their distress and troubles.

18 The Lord is near to the heartbroken

And He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin).

19 Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous,

But the Lord rescues him from them all.

20 He keeps all his bones;

Not one of them is broken.

21 Evil will cause the death of the wicked,

And those who hate the righteous will be held guilty and will be condemned.

22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,

And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

The structure of this psalm is an acrostic, or nearly so. Each verse begins with another letter of the Hebrew alphabet, except for the letter waw. The purpose of the acrostic format in this psalm mainly seems to be as a device used to encourage learning and memorization.

Amen

Cry out to God if you must, he is near to the broken hearted

But always remember in relation to the opening scripture this is God's plan for you

Adapted exposition below:

The "path of the righteous" is likened to the light of dawn, gradually shining brighter and brighter until it reaches the full light of day. This metaphor signifies a continuous process of learning, understanding, and transformation as one grows in faith and knowledge.

Elaboration:

Progressive Light:

The verse uses the analogy of the rising sun to illustrate how the path of the righteous becomes increasingly clear and illuminated as one progresses in their spiritual journey.

Spiritual Growth:

The increasing brightness suggests that as individuals deepen their understanding of God's word and their relationship with Him, their lives become more illuminated and guided by wisdom and truth.

Transformation:

The verse speaks to the transformative power of living in accordance with God's will, leading to a greater clarity and understanding of life's path.

God will help you, he will heal you and he definitely makes all things beautiful in his time. Just put all your hope and trust in this gracious loving-kind God, he will never fail you and he always brings you into better

Amen

Walk good in Christ

Till we meet again
