Temptations, trials and suffering—we’ve all experienced them! Even as Messiah followers (sometimes especially because we’re believers), we must endure pain whether through loss, bankruptcy, unemployment or broken relationships!
While no one is immune to hard times, believers are empowered through the Holy Spirit to endure them.
Our verse today tells us to “Be still” and know who GOD is! This indicates that our best response to disappointments is to trust in the LORD!
When troubles come (and they will come), it’s really easy to get caught up in our emotions, but we need to be wise in the Word of GOD and learn to be still, trust, and wait on the One who can work it all out for our good (Rom. 8:28)!
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am GOD. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
While on this earth, troubles won’t ever vanish (John 16:33)! But when storms are brewing on the horizon, buckle up and trust GOD to guide you through!
