“You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side.” Psalm 71:20-21
Paul, an apostle of Jesus, is a perfect example of experiencing the yo-yo effect. He went from a king with royalty to living in the wilderness and eating like an animal.
The yo-yo effect touches every believer. It is induced by two factors. Jesus looks at your life and decides to engineer trials to strengthen and purify your faith. Secondly, a believer makes mistakes that bring crisis and turmoil in his life.
Actually, the underlying reason is sin whether presumptuous or character defects that inhibit you from becoming Christlike.
Jesus promises to deliver you from the stranglehold of deprivation and depression. He also promises to increase your greatness and comfort you in every aspect of your life.
Walking with Jesus is a zig zag journey without predictably or consistency.
Jesus does not think or act like a human. At times, we feel like time is running out. Jesus does not function on a human timeline. He simply says one day is like a thousand years and why worry because there is no end in the life of a believer.
