Fantastic Friday #968 - Difficulties

 Difficulties


Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
    and extol him with music and song. Psalm 95:1-2

We all will deal with difficulties in our life, it is just part of the overall plan.  I know many will ask why would a loving God give me difficulties to overcome, and there is no good answer.  I do know this, that the closer I am to our Father in Heaven, the less these difficulties will feel like burdens.  God makes our burdens light, and the difficulties He can get us through with a learning plus reliance on what He has for our life.  It is not always so easy to see, especially when we are in the middle of a difficult situation, but maybe we need to change what our focus should be.  This set of verses honors our God and lets other people see how we feel if we are thankful and rejoicing His name. So, take a moment to be thankful, take a moment to sing joy to the Lord, and take a moment to rely on Him more deeply during your difficult circumstances.  It is clear to me that He will lift that burden and lighten your shoulders.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
