God Is With Us In Our Trials

There are times in life when we feel like we are in an extreme battle and we wonder if we will make it through to the other side.  The Lord promises us that He will always be by our side when things get rough.  Sometimes the problems that we face may seem overwhelmingly large, but it is during those moments that we need to realize that our God is so much bigger than any problem that comes across our path.

We will encounter troubles in this life.  There will be tough times and hard seasons that we must go through.  The Lord will lead us through those difficult times if we just let go and trust Him.  The Lord loves us so very much.  He loves us more than we realize.  He is our God.  All things are possible with the Lord. 

The Lord is working in our lives in ways that we can not see.  The Lord will help us and He will care for us each and everyday.  Sometimes we forget how Awesome the Lord is and that He is in control. 

I was reminded of the time in 2 Kings 6:15-17 when Elisha's servant looked out the window and saw a large army he grew afraid as anyone of us would.  Elisha responded with his faith in the Lord and said to his servant, "Don't be afraid.  Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

Then Elisha prayed that the Lord would open his servant's eyes to the truth of the matter.  The Lord opened the servant's eyes and he saw the enemy army and he also saw horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.  The Lord was protecting Elisha who was God's servant. 

The Lord will protect us during our most difficult days.  He works in ways that we don't see and in ways we don't completely understand.  Sometimes that Lord allows us to go through dark and difficult valleys.  He doesn't do this to harm us,  but He allows this difficultly to help us grow deeper in our faith in Him.

The Lord loves you so very much and He wants you and I to love Him and trust Him with every aspect of our lives.  I hope that you are trusting in the Lord this day and each and everyday.

God demonstrated His great love for you and I by sending His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth.  Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life and went obediently to the Cross where He shed His blood for our sins.  The Lord wants us to realize that we can't save ourselves because none of us is good enough.  We have all sinned.  There is none of us who does good.  We must repent of our sins.  We must confess to the Lord that we are sinners and then we must receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

Jesus is the only One who can forgive us our sins.  He is the Only One that died for our sins and the sins of the whole world.  The Lord raised Jesus from the dead on the third day and He is seated at the right hand of God in Heaven and one day He will return to this earth to judge the living and the dead.

We don't know what tomorrow will bring.  We must be ready for eternity. 

I would encourage you to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
