It snowed today in Northern Maine where I live. We also had some rain as well. Sometimes it feels like the winter weather and the cold temperatures just don't want to leave. The other day I saw several robins on my front lawn and I took some pictures of them.
I look forward to warmer temperatures and I look forward to the day the snow is all but a memory. This winter has seemed hard and very long. Sometimes the trials we go through in life can feel like a long winter that just won't end.
Sometimes we get sick or hurt and we can't do the things we want to do. I recently heard about someone who likes to run, but they injured themselves and they have had to stop running for a while until they heal. I would imagine that would be a difficult trial to endure especially when it is something you like to do.
There are times in life when we encounter hard times and we are unable to do those things we want to do. God is not surprised by our trials. The Lord knows exactly where He wants us and He knows how to get us to that point where He can use us.
Sure, there will be hard things that we must go through, but we can trust the Lord that He is working out things for our good and for His glory. We just need to surrender ourselves into His care. God cares for us and He loves us.
No matter what we are facing today we can know that the Lord will see us through our trial if we have our faith and trust in Him. The Lord Jesus will see us through our difficult times. Life may seem totally unfair at the moment, but we can know that the Lord knows exactly what He is doing.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Help us to praise You in the hard times.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
