Been reading my Bible this morning and saw in Luke 6:46-49 how we can respond to troubles in this life.
If we have little to no relationship with Jesus and His Word, we will collapse under the pressure of life. King David put it this way:
Psalm 32: “Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; SURELY IN A FLOOD OF GREAT WATERS (unforeseen and troubling circumstances)THEY SHALL NOT REACH HIM. Thou art my hiding place. Thou dost preserve me from trouble; Thou dost surround me with songs of deliverance. “
Don’t let the busyness of life crowd out your devotion to God. Don’t let someone’s offense keep you from being among a body of believers in a church. These are safety measures that keep us connected to the One who loves us. Otherwise your trust will only be in yourself
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all of your ways, and he will direct your steps.” - Proverbs 3:5-6
