Every day we get an e-devotional from a good friend. This one I wanted to share here, since it seems to fit so many areas of our lives, both here in Haiti and in the US. Thanks Papa Roy for your insights!!!
God's ears are graciously open.
Scripture faithfully proclaims that much tribulation is the believer's lot in this world. But it stops not with a mournful note. It also reveals the remedy in every period of distress. The remedy is prayer. This exercise never fails to bring relief. A distinct example stands before us. The Psalmist, mourning in the depths of trouble, lifts up a supplicating voice. God's ears are graciously open. We shall have sorrow. Let us similarly cry, and we shall find that sorrow leads to joy. (Henry Law)
In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He heard me. (Psalm 120:1)
God is bigger than your biggest fear and your deepest pain. He promises us refuge, strength, and help during troubled times. Nobody else is capable of doing all these things so who are you going to turn to when life gets you down? Jesus is waiting for you with open arms, invite Him into your heart.
So who do we turn to when life gets us down? God brings comfort to those who have heavy burdens: He is who we need to turn to.
In God we trust,
Papa Roy
