Dealing with troubles in this life is not a popular topic covered within Western churches, and as a result many Christians are caught off guard and left unsettled when they must endure difficulty. Yet verses throughout the Bible touch on suffering for God and for being His righteous ones plenty.
These same believers become disillusioned, therefore, whenever they do face suffering and pain within the trials they walk through. They find themselves not prepared when the enemy and the world comes against them. And they lose confidence in their right standing with God and in hope under the weight of the valley season.
When we study the Bible and allow it to penetrate our hearts in meditation, we can find our divinely provided source of comfort, encouragement and the truth of what we will endure as a result of choosing to follow Christ wholeheartedly.
“The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.” Psalm 34:19
However, God will be our deliverer out of every trouble and trial we endure. That is a promise we can hold onto with hope and faith.
This too shall pass, Friend, this too shall pass.
