Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
We all know ‘stuff’ happens and if it’s not happening in your life right now then praise God, but you probably know someone who is going through it! When life throws us some curve balls it’s then we need each other to stand by one another to comfort and encourage us through the hard times, fellow believers who will not judge us but love us at our lowest, to remind us God is right there with us.
I expect every family has had things happen that throw up questions. Why didn’t I see it coming, how do I get over this loss, this hurt, how do I deal with this illness? Maybe you’ve had some questions too, but God is big enough to handle them all.
They encourage us is to know they came through and out the other side of their difficulties with His help and He has not changed. He is the God of our valleys as well as the God of our mountain tops. Even when the waves are the highest He wants you to know His peace is still available, even when the joy feels like it’s been sucked out of you, He wants you to know His joy is still there within you because He is in you.
What God has done for one, He will do for us all. Even though we may suffer loss in whatever shape that may be, we haven’t lost God.🙂 He is still the restorer of our souls, the uplifter of our heads. He is who He says He is, our Helper, Strengthener, Healer, Provider, the All Sufficient One.
I pray that whatever is happening in your life that you would allow Him to lift you up and give you hope. To know Him as the One who loves you beyond your wildest dreams, who understands your questions and isn’t mad at you, who will never let you down, who will always be there for you and will bring you through and out the other side with an amazing testimony of His faithfulness. In Jesus Name. Amen.
