Your heavenly Father watches over you with an unwavering eye. Every move is monitored; every tear is bottled. He feels your every hurt and he knows when you have been exposed to enough harassment from the enemy. He steps in and says, “Enough!” When your pain no longer draws you close to the Lord and, instead, begins to downgrade your spiritual life, God moves in. He will not permit a trusting child of his to go under because of too much pain and agony of soul. God will lift you out of the battle for a while, right on time. He will never allow your hurt to destroy your mind. He promises to come, right on time, to wipe away your tears and give you joy for mourning. God’s Word says, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).
God loves YOU. He is a loving Father wanting only to lift us out of our weakness.
It is OUR faith that pleases him most. He wants US to trust him. AMEN.
No wonder our young people give up in defeat. They can’t live up to the image, created by religion, of a carefree, rich, successful, always positive-thinking Christian. Their world is not that ideal; they live with heartbreaks, hour-by-hour crises, and family problems.
Paul talked about trouble: “…trouble which came to us…we were pressed out of [burdened beyond] measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life” (see 2 Corinthians 1:8).
Positive thinking won’t make these problems go away and “confessing” that these problems don’t really exist doesn’t change a thing. What is the cure? There are two absolutes that have brought me great comfort and help.
Sorrow and mourning shall flee away. This doesn’t mean all our suffering will end. It mean our trust in the Lord will put us above every pain and trial. Such things won’t be able to rob us of our joy and gladness in Christ.
