Psalm 9:8-10,” And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.”
We all face trial and problems at one time or another. God has made us a really great promise. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Trouble is a part of life. When Adam fell he took all of humanity with him. The whole world is in trouble. The magnitude of this trouble is far beyond our ability to comprehend or understand. It is in times like these we often forget God is our only source of hope, help and protection.
When we struggle with sickness, and loss we must be reminded God is still on the throne and is still in control. All things will work to good for those who love the Lord. God has a plan and He always works His plan to our best benefit. We may not always see how His plan is working but we must trust Him that it will be according to His will. When trouble comes to a marriage, or parents are struggling with a rebellious child, it must be remembered that God’s Word is our source of counsel and that God does not forsake them that seek Him.
There is one who will whisper in your ear that the trouble is too great, that there is no hope; but God is the God of Hope and it is to Him we must turn. The psalmist says “they that know thy name will put their trust in thee.”
To understand God is all powerful brings you to believe nothing is too hard for Him. No problem is too large that He cannot solve it. No need is so large that His resources cannot fill. To understand He is merciful give you hope to call upon Him in times of need. To understand He is faithful assures you He will keep His promise.
When we have problems give them to God. When we have needs ask Him to supply. When we need counsel ask for wisdom. God is our resource for all we face in this thing we call life.
