Psalm 18:30-36
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God? 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
There are truths that we say in hard times that may seem empty when trouble hits. God's way is perfect. He never makes a mistake. He knows what lies ahead. Yet, all of these statements are true.
However, when we are in the midst of hard times we need to be able to rely on God and His Word.
Everybody is going through something hard in their life. I don't know everything you are facing nor do I know why. But whatever it is, God is using it and preparing us for tomorrow. We may not see the "good" in a situation this side of Heaven but we can't stop trusting God. When your heart is broken, He can mend it. When you feel all alone, He is near. When sickness takes over, He is the great Physician.
God has filled us with the Holy Spirit. It is in His power that we can face hard times. Can you depend on Him? Certainly, He has proven Himself over and over again. Will you depend on Him? That is up to you. You can accept that you are dependent on Him and let Him use the circumstances as He chooses, or you can fight against Him. You already know Who is mightier.
As we go through the day, let us always remember that God's way IS perfect and He will carry us through hard times.
