Life is filled with twist and turns. There will be ups and downs. There will be times of great joy and times of terrible heart wrenching painful sorrow. There will be times of great rejoicing and times of bitter despair. I like the good moments of life where everything seems to go well and smoothly, but I also know that in this world we all have to go through troubles. I don't like trouble. None of us like trouble, but it hunts us all down eventually in some form or another.
There will be storms that come against us in this world. The Lord Jesus told His disciples and us that in this world we would have trouble, but He also tells us that we should take heart and know that He has overcome the world. When we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we know that whatever storms and troubles come against us , we will never be alone through our trials. We can also know that the Lord will teach us somethings about Himself on the way through the trial if we pay attention.
The Lord will often times allow us to go through a certain trial so that we can use our experience to minister to someone else in the future who is encountering a similar difficulty. We can witness to them about how the Lord led us through our time of trouble and testify about His faithfulness and love for us through our trial.
We all go through times of trial and times of suffering. The Lord loves us very deeply and He cares for us. The Lord will see us through our trials if we just trust Him. Sometimes it seems very hard to trust especially when we can't see the whole picture before us. Thankfully we know that God sees the entire picture and He knows exactly what piece goes where and what connections need to be made. God can be trusted. We just need to believe and follow Him wherever He leads us.
Lord,
Thank You that You can use our troubles to minister to others of Your faithfulness and comfort.
Help us to share those moments where You helped us with others.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
