IN MY DISTRESS…
“God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the Lord? Who but our God is a solid rock? God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect.” Psalm 18:30-32
What am I to do when I am having a bad day, when I feel completely lost and stressed? Who should I call when I’m being constantly attacked by either my flesh, the world or the devil? What if I don’t have enough time in my day to get things done that need done? I turn to the only One who can help. I look to my King. Why? Because like the above scripture states, who but our God is a solid rock to stand on? When we look to God, He will show up.
Psalm 46 says, “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.”
Moreover, the Bible says that “All good things come from God”, God doesn’t want us to get hurt and abused. That is why God made it possible for us to accept His Son Jesus into our heart, so that He can intercede for us and help us throughout our walk in life. We do not know how to pray as we should, so the Spirit prays for us, through wordless sighs and aching groans (see Romans 8:26).
The bottom line is when you have Jesus in your heart He is going to give you the strength you need to press on through thick and thin. I want to encourage you all to improve your communication with your Father. He always wants to spend time with His children. Improve your knowledge of Him by reading His word. Talk to Him and He will respond back.
