Even in darkness light dawns for the upright...surely he will never be
shaken...he will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast,
trusting in the LORD.
Beth gives us a few answers to the question: "how can I trust in the Lord" when everything seems to be falling apart around me? She says: "I, the Maker of heaven and earth,will:
--perfect everything that concerns you (Psalm 138:8)
--work all things together for your good (Romans 8:28)
--contend with those who contend with you (Isaiah 49:25)
--fight this battle for you (2 Chronicles 20:15)
--equip you with divine power (2 Corinthians 10:4)
--delight to show you mercy (Micah 7:18)
--meet all your needs according to My glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19)
--give you grace that is perfectly sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9)
--be your power in weakness (2 Cor. 12:9)
--do immeasurably more than all you could ask or imagine according to the power
that is at work within you (Eph. 3:20)
F.B. Meyer says "Believe that He is between you and your difficulty and what troubles you will flee before Him, as clouds in the wind." The psalmist said we will be blessed if our fear (awe) is about the Lord...not about something that may or may not happen to us. Take today, this moment, and believe of God's love for you...now why would the future hold anything different?
For further study: 2 Chron. 14:11, Psalm 20:7, 37:3, 131, Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 30:15, John 14:1, Romans 8:28-39, 2 Cor. 4:16-18, 2 Peter 1:3-4.
Be blessed in your understanding of God's word.
Love,
Holly
