Bible

[plugger]

In my times of trials, whether it be stress or sickness, the thing I try to remember is that rather than ask for healing I ask God for strength and courage to endure. This morning I just flipped open my Bible to Psalm 138 and verse 3, in Dr. David Jeremiah notes he writes the following and and I think it carries a great message for all of us.

THE ONE IN CHARGE-----"God did not remove all of David's troubles, even though he cried out for God to do so. We are not to treat God as a genie in a lamp who grants all our whims and wishes. Sometimes God takes us out of our trouble, but more often He stands with us and walks with us through it. God always answers when His children cry out to Him-----every good father does. He may not answer us the way we want to be answered, or when when we want to be answered, but He always answers. God will often give strength, or confidence, in our souls to help us face our trouble. Boldness and strength come not because we get everything we want at the exact moment we ask for it, but because God is in charge."----Something here to think on----God Bless
