THE LORD IS GOOD, A REFUGE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. HE CARES FOR THOSE WHO TRUST HIM! ( NAHUM 1:7 *NIV )

We all face troubling times in our lives from time to time. We often wish that we could escape these troubles like the pain of grief, loss, sorrow and failure; or maybe even the small daily frustrations that constantly bother us.

When you are experiencing problems like that remember that: THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN HEARTED AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT. ( PSALM 34:18 )

After all: THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND HIS EARS ARE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CRY. ( PSALM 34:15 ) For: THE RIGHTEOUS CALL OUT, AND THE LORD HEARS THEM; HE DELIVERS THEM FROM ALL THEIR TROUBLES. ( PSALM 34:17 )

Now you may be thinking how does that apply to me, for I do not feel very righteous. Well, through Jesus Christ we have become righteous, for it is written: GOD MADE HIM WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 ) Therefore when we repent of our sins they are not only cleansed from “The Book of Life,” we also become righteous once again as well!

So remember the words of our Savior Jesus Christ, “DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. TRUST IN GOD; TRUST ALSO IN ME.” ( JOHN 14:1 ) and let Him deliver you from all your troubles! For: A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY HAVE MANY TROUBLES, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM FROM THEM ALL. Amen! ( PSALM 34:19 )
