TOUGH TIMES
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.” –Psalm 34:19

Are you going through a tough time in your life right now? Here’s what you need to remember–if God brings you to it He will bring you through it! He who never lies has spoken, and He never fails.

 Someone said, “God had only one Son without sin, but he had no sons without suffering. And I would be less than faithful to the Word of God and the testimony of Christ if I somehow told, or even suggested, that you could experience life without suffering or sorrow. The Scripture promises you and me that affliction is part of living the Christian life.”

There will be times when you feel that you are all alone. But for the Christian that isn’t true. God has promised that He will never leave nor forsake us. Therefore we need never feel hopeless. Although bad things happen to good people they have the assurance that God’s grace is sufficient to sustain them.

Perhaps you’ve heard someone say,”Tough times never last, but tough people do”. Nonsense! Getting through your trials isn’t about being “tough”–no one is tough enough to get through anything. I don’t care how strong you are, there is something that is more than you alone can bear. It’s not about being “tough”, it’s about being “righteous”. Only the righteous person can truly say,”I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”(Phil. 4:13). Only the righteous person can claim the promise that “the LORD delivereth him out of them all”. Only the righteous can expect relief! –HDS

WHEN THE TOUGH TIMES TROUBLE YOU, TRUST IN GOD’S PROMISES TO BRING THROUGH
