God can make you comfortable in some of life's most uncomfortable places. He can bring
you through situations you think you won't survive
or feel like you'll be stuck in forever. He can give you peace when you're
under pressure.
Indeed,
losing some things will actually help you to appreciate the things you have.
It's the taste of failure that makes success so sweet. You'll live not knowing
what tomorrow holds, but knowing that God has all your tomorrows
planned out. 'He comforts us in all our troubles.' 2 Corinthians 1:4.
Your future isn't in the hands of your boss, your banker,
your spouse, or anybody else. Nor is it in your own hands to control. All your
tomorrows are in God's hands. And just because you don't understand the path
you're on, doesn't mean he isn't leading you. He promises: 'I will lead them in
paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked
places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them' (Isaiah
42:16 NKJV).
So get to know God, because you'll need him. And he will
be there when everybody else has failed you. He will be there for you in the
dark places. The Psalmist writes, 'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy
comes in the morning' (Psalm 30:5 NKJV). However long the night, morning will
come - and with it his joy. Looking back, you'll realise that his grace has protected you, provided for you, calmed
you, comforted you, and brought you through.
Times and seasons change, but not
the Lord. He's 'the same yesterday, today, and forever'.
Indeed Elohim is merciful and His acts beyond human comprehension.
