People feel times are hard because of the recession we are in. People are losing their jobs (it seems like daily), and food prices are rising, too.
But through it all we must always remember to put God first. God is still the Alpha and Omega, and the trials we go through should make our faith even stronger.
Psalms 27:1 states, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
If our faith is grounded and we are committed to the Lord, no matter what is thrown in our direction we must stay faithful.
Philippians 4:6-7 is a constant remainder of the kind of Christians we must be. It states:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God; and the peace of God which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and mind through Christ
Jesus.”
We must give God the trials and tribulations we go through. God has not forgotten or forsaken us. So don't throw in the towel but always be prayerful, and remember God loves you no matter what you are going through.
---M. Smith
