Today we reenforce the trust relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ as we are reminded once again that those things which we had no power to control yesterday are the same things today. Even though it is painful while we go through these times, He is with us holding onto us. He is our faithful Lord and Savior. Won’t you trust Him today? Today’s verses: 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Psalm 27:13-14. Have a blessed day.
The Lord is intimately involved in our pain and struggles. His grace is sufficient for us as He strengthens us in our difficult times. Whether it is a business failure, family calamity, relational breakdown, or crisis of faith, these mountains can make us feel faint. Don’t despair! The grace of God is sufficient to carry us through these times. When David wrote Psalm 27 he was clearly in a desperate situation. Yet he knew that God is his strength and he patiently waited for God.
I am a very relational person. If you are anything like me then accusation or relational conflict is very difficult to bear. In facing relational breakdown I have learned to patiently wait on God. If I have done all I can to restore a relationship then all I can do is wait on God to bring reconciliation. It isn’t always easy to face difficulties when you can’t do anything to change the situation. But these seasons help our patience to grow.

Dear Father God, Thank You for Your amazing grace that empowers me to wait patiently. Thank You for Your comfort and love during my difficult times. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
2 Corinthians 12:9. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Psalm 27:13. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
