“MAKE GOD THE FOCAL POINT of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and feels safe. Not only is this an impossible goal, but it is also counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your private world feels unsteady and you grip GOD’S hand for support, you are living in conscious dependence on GOD. Instead of yearning for a problem-free life, rejoice that trouble can highlight your awareness of The LORD’S Presence. In the darkness of adversity, you are able to see more clearly the radiance of GOD’S Face. Accept the value of problems in this life, considering them pure joy. Remember that you have an eternity of trouble-free living awaiting you in heaven.”
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10
Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. PSALM 139 : 10
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2
Prayer: Lord help me to accept the value of problems in this life. I know they have valuable lessons to be learned if I allow them to. I look so forward to Heaven when there will be no more tears or suffering or sorrow. No more trials. But until then, I trust you know best Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
