49 Remember your word to your servant,
for you have given me hope.
50 My comfort in my suffering is this:
Your promise preserves my life. Psalm 119:49-50
I heard an excellent sermon on suffering this last week which made me reflect much on the last two years. It is challenging to find hope in the suffering we may experience, but it sure is easy to find the pain. I have had some challenges this week with several different things, and even I questioned why the situation had to take place. I began to reflect on the past several months, and I saw the different steps and challenges that were resolved which led up to this point. In each case, God was faithful and provided what we needed when we needed it. It may have been an inconvenience at times, but there was always provision. Now, even though I was thoroughly frustrated, I was able to stop and see the hope that God has provided, and I was able to also reflect on several things over the last two years that God has outlined with his faithfulness. Sometimes we need those hard times to remind us of the hope we have in our Lord and Savior. God preserves our lives, and we just need to stop and be thankful.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
