Troubles
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29 He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.
30 Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven. Psalm 107:28-30
Troubles are all around us. Troubles are presented to us in many forms. I have seen many troubles this week that other people have. One thing I have tried to focus on instead of the why is how are these people going to get over their troubles. Many of them don't have a close relationship with the Lord. It makes me begin to wonder, is my relationship close enough to the Lord that if I had the same troubles as them, would I be able to respond with a deep abiding faith in the Lord to get me through? We tend to forget that God is always there for us, even in our deepest darkest moments. All we need to do is step forward and lean into Him who gives us a calm spirit. Knowing that He can calm all the storms in our life and make them quiet gives me the strength and faith I need to get through. You know, those people with troubles can be prayed for, even if they don't have a relationship with the Lord. He wants all to come to Him.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
