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 )
Be strong in the Lord

BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. ( 1 PETER 5:8 *NKJV )
As you know we all face temptations from time to time. When we are tempted it is important to remember that they come from satan, and not God. For it is written: LET NO ONE SAY WHEN HE IS TEMPTED, ‘I AM TEMPTED BY GOD.’; FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE HIMSELF TEMPT ANYONE. BUT EACH ONE IS TEMPTED WHEN HE IS DRAWN AWAY BY HIS OWN DESIRES AND ENTICED. ( JAMES 1:13-14 )
So when satan tries to tempt you SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. ( JAMES 4:7 ) After all our Savior Jesus Christ gave us power over the devil when He said, I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY, AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU. ( LUKE 10:19 )
FINALLY MY BROTHERN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. ( EPHESIANS 6:10-11 ) Then you will be able to take names and kick serpent, when satan tries to tempt you! Amen.

BE JOYFUL IN HOPE, PATIENT IN AFFLICTION, FAITHFUL IN PRAYER. ( ROMANS 12:12 *NIV )
We have hope because of our faith in our Savior Jesus Christ, and HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN US. ( ROMANS 5:5 )
Now when we are afflicted, we have God’s promise that: THE RIGHTEOUS MAN IS RESCUED FROM TROUBLE, AND IT COMES ON THE WICKED INSTEAD. ( PROVERBS 11:8 ) For it is also written: I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU. ( HEBREWS 13:5 )
Therefore, DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 ) After all, it is written: THE PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE. ( JAMES 5:16 )
So, never let disappointments cause you to lose hope, for God is always with you. Therefore my friend, REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS. I WILL SAY AGAIN REJOICE. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:4 )
Amen!

AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. ( JOSHUA 24:15 *NIV )
As a child of GOD, we are to strive to become as much like CHRIST as we can possibly be. Remember that CHRIST came as a Servant, not as a Great King, and Serving others is an important way of becoming more like JESUS!
After all our Savior JESUS CHRIST said: “FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY.” ( MARK 10:45 )
Therefore we should also, BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENT AND THE LAW THAT MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE LORD GAVE YOU: TO HOLD FAST TO HIM AND TO SERVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL. ( JOSHUA 22:5 )
Now, we may do that by sharing our love with each other, and by Serving our Heavenly Father as well. Some Serve GOD by teaching Sunday School, others by helping people who are in need! After all, there are many ways to Serve our Heavenly Father.
Therefore why not volunteer to help others when the need arises, SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INHERITANCE FROM THE LORD AS A REWARD. IT IS THE LORD CHRIST YOU ARE SERVING. Amen. ( COLOSSIANS 3:24 )

BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF MERCIES AND THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3 *NKJV )
GOD is our comforter when troubles hit our life. For HE is the one: WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TRIBULATION, THAT WE MAY COMFORT THOSE WHO ARE IN ANY TROUBLE WITH THE COMFORT WITH WHICH WE OURSELVES ARE COMFORTED BY GOD. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 1:4 )
After all it is written: THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. ( PSALM 23:4 )
Indeed, HE comforts those who turn to HIM, and HE even tells us to, “BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE, DO NOT FEAR NOR BE AFRAID OF THEM; FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES WITH YOU. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.” ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So, remember the words of our Savior JESUS CHRIST, for HE said: “LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU BELIEVE IN GOD; BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.” ( JOHN 14:1 )
Now, BRETHREN MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOUR SPIRIT! AMEN. ( GALATIANS 6:18 )
