as life unfolds, all of us encounter occasional setbacks: those periodic visits from old man trouble are simply a fact of life, and none of us are exempt. when tough times arrive, we may be forced to rearrange our plans but we must never rearrange our values.
the fact that we encounter adversity is not nearly so important as the way we choose to deal with it. when tough times arrive, we have a clear choice: we can begin the difficult work of tackling our troubles.....or not. when we summon the courage to look old man trouble squarely in the eye, he usually blinks. but, if we refuse to address our problems, even the smallest annoyance have a way of growing into king-sized catastrophes.
Psalm 145 promises, "The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those of fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them." (Ps 145:18-20). and the words of JESUS offer us comfort: "I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grieve will turn to joy." (John 16:20)
as believers, we know that God loves us and that HE will protect us. in times of hardships, HE will comfort us; in times of sorrow, HE will dry our tears. when we are troubled, or weak, or sorrowful, God is always with us. we must build our lives on the rock that cannot be shaken: we must trust in God. and then, we must get on with the hard work of tackling our problems......because if we don't, who will? or should? good day all of you !!!
