The bible tells us that it is the thief — the enemy — who
kills, steals and destroys. God’s plan is to bring you life. We have to
remember, the enemy uses circumstances to get our eyes off of God. He tries to
steal our peace and keep us focused on this earthly realm. But when we lift up
our eyes to our Creator, when we hold fast to our profession of faith, that’s how
we stay in victory.
When we encounter difficulty and tragedy we have to trust
that God is right there offering His shelter of peace to our troubled hearts.
He has a plan to lift you up out of despair and set you in a place of
stability. He has a plan to restore, renew and revive your soul.
Friend, when the day of trouble comes, remember that God
promised He is with you and for you. He’s not the one who is against you. The
bible says, “In the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he
will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.”
Keep your eyes on your loving heavenly Father. The bible
goes on to say that He has a good plan for you; that He will make your crooked
places straight and your rough places smooth. Lift your eyes to Him because He
is the Author and Finisher of your faith — a very present help in the day of
trouble. Ask for and receive His peace and strength and trust Him to lead you
in the path of victory all the days of your life.
