God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble. ~ Psalm 46:1 (NIrV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have a number of people in my circle of friends who are struggling with difficult situations in their lives. And there are probably numerous others I know for which I'm not fully aware of their struggles. But my first thought is to pray. Pray to God for help. And I encourage them to seek God for wisdom and comfort and strength and peace. I mean, seriously -- where else can we go?
Although He may not rescue us in the way we wish Him to, God is always there and working on our behalf. He does "work all things together for good to them that love Him and are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28) To look at our circumstances that are difficult and which don't seem to change, and accuse God of not working or not caring is to misunderstand Him and His purpose. We must never confuse our circumstance with His character --
God is a refuge and an ever-present help in times of trouble. Please don't let discouragement in your difficult situation let you turn your eyes from His face or your trust from His hand. Let Him teach you the deeper things during your trial and know that when you come out on the other side, you will know with a greater understanding what it means to walk with God.
Love,
Joelene
