FRIENDS and FRIENDSHIPS
August 7, 2022A BIRTH and A DEATH
August 9, 2022The Bible, which is the written Word of God, has so much to offer to us and our living. It speaks to our needs, and helps us navigate tough and difficult paths. When in need, whatever it may be, the Word of God has something to for to us. Let us see what the Bible has to say, regarding PROBLEMS and STRUGGLES.
The LORD Jesus puts it across plainly that problems will be the natural outcome of our position in Christ – “20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” – John 15:20
A. W. Tozer, a man of God, has these profound words for our clarity and comfort – “What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them. We must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.”
Therefore, let us set our heart and eyes on the LORD, and not on anything that is troubling us. He will help us and guide us. He will be right beside us, and with us to helps and guide us to safety. The LORD is good and gracious. He cares for us.
