Job 5:8\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cAs for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause, who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number: he gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields; he sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.<\/p>\n

2 Chronicles 33:12-13<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.\u00a0\u00a0He prayed to him, and God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.<\/p>\n

Psalms 50:15<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Psalms 77:1-2<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b> I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me.\u00a0\u00a0In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted.<\/p>\n

Jonah 2:1-7<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,\u00a0\u00a0saying, \u201cI called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.<\/p>\n

Psalms 37:5<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.<\/p>\n

1 Peter 4:19<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What great words of comfort, hope, and confidence.\u00a0 <\/span>It is easy to read these in our comfort, blessings, and prosperity.\u00a0 <\/span>It is easy for us to hold true and faithful in times without trials or troubles.\u00a0 <\/span>These words may come to us while in good times and give us comfort in thinking about \u201cthe possibility of trouble landing on my doorstep\u201d and how we would then, in faith, call out to Jesus. However, trouble has a way of sneaking up on us.\u00a0 <\/span>It hits us from the blindside.\u00a0 <\/span>It grabs us from behind and tries to choke us out.\u00a0 <\/span>It does not play fair or give any respect to who we are.\u00a0 <\/span>Trials and troubles come upon all mankind, good and bad.<\/p>\n

We can see from these scriptures that men called out to God in their time of trouble.\u00a0 <\/span>Trials have a way of humbling the soul before God or driving a hatred deep within.\u00a0 <\/span>The difference is the condition of the heart, mind, and soul of the person.\u00a0 <\/span>The heart holds things dear to the soul.\u00a0 <\/span>If the heart is holding dear to things of this world over the things of God trials will either push them away or draw them closer.\u00a0 <\/span>When the heart is holding dear to things of this world the study of God\u2019s word and spending daily time in scripture and desiring to hear the whispers of the Holy Spirit\u2019s leading are not anywhere near their heart.\u00a0 <\/span>Be mindful of this because it very well can be the place where you are close to being and not even know it.\u00a0 <\/span>Our sinful nature and with Satan\u2019s lies and deception we can slip into this void of darkness unknowingly.\u00a0 <\/span>Each of us needs brothers and sisters to spur us on to good works, faithful living, God-honoring, reliant, trusting, and obedient lives.\u00a0 <\/span>When we do this for each other we grow in knowledge and understanding.\u00a0 <\/span>Our desire for things of God increases.\u00a0 <\/span>Our hope and faith become more firm.\u00a0 <\/span>Our lives become beacons of the light of Jesus Christ to those in darkness.\u00a0 <\/span>Trials and troubles have the possibility to darken our souls.\u00a0 <\/span>Let us be faithful to each other and hold each other accountable to walk worthy of our calling to the glory and honor of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
