It is something else to pray and believe that God hears you and is there. When we surrender and open our hearts to God we can truly learn and the Holy Spirit opens our heart and we transform. We can believe we are strong enough to endure but all of us need to forget our worldly strength and rely on the Lord to fill us. It says we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, so why do we work so hard to help ourselves?
Psalm 34:10 says, “Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.”
This does not say we will lack trouble or trials it means we can have the true joy and peace that comes from the Lord when we die to self.
In verse 19 we see that it says, “The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.”
Where do we turn when we are in trouble? We need to open God’s word and fill our hearts with the wisdom and knowledge He has given to us so we can live on earth as it is in heaven. We need to remember that we need to be living in this world but glorifying God with our lives.
I would like to close with Psalm 34:22 which says, “But the Lord will redeem those who serve Him. No one who takes refuge in Him will be condemned.” Amen
