HE CARES
“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.” Nahum 1:7 NKJV
Christmas is quickly approaching. If you’re a kid, it’s a great time; anticipating the presents you’ll find under the tree with your name. Oh to be young again, right? If you’re 18 or above, it’s a different time. Having moved into the “social” era of FaceBook, I see comments made by so many. My friends who are in college post about having to study for all their finals and not being able to wait until they can come home to be with their old friends, if they’re living away from home. Others make silly, trivial comments about what’s going on in their lives (including me). A couple of weeks around Thanksgiving, it was great to see all the comments about things they were thankful for. Yet other comments I see are about loss of jobs, sick loved ones, physical pain, death of loved ones. Life can be so overwhelming. Today, when I was reading I came across this very familiar verse to me. Several years ago someone told me this was their favorite verse. It’s a wonderful verse. The Lord is a stronghold, a fortress. He won’t be moved. If I trust in Him, He knows me. He knows what I am going through. He loves me. He cares for me.
MAKE IT REAL – In these days of trouble, not knowing what will be in the future, put your faith and trust in Him. He will give you peace in the middle of the storm. Hold on tight to the only One who can get you through all that life throws at you.
