“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
Romans 8: 37 (KJV)
Everyone has trouble on occasion. It can come because of the decisions we make or through no fault of our own. When it comes often or for a long period, discouragement can easily set in.
With writing deadlines, I planned my week so that I would have no problem meeting each one. The dachshunds like to nap under my computer desk while I work, usually without incident. Everything unraveled when one of them crawled out from under my desk wrapped in computer cords. He had chewed the data cable to my WiFi router into several pieces. Without WiFi access, my work halted.
Although, my troubles were not life altering, they still disrupted my plans. I was forced to stop what I was doing and change course. Obligations failed to be met.
The Lord knows that we will have times in our life when trouble will interfere with our plans. It could be a simple irritation like a chewed data cable. However, it might be devastating news about health, injury, or death.
Jesus offers comfort and strength to face whatever trouble we face. He is our haven of rest. Reach out to Him in prayer, then have faith that He will carry you through.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for giving me strength, through faith, to face whatever trouble comes into my life.
I knew you'd find a way to use that chewed cord dilemma. There's a bright side to everything.
