When I started reading this devotional, I immediately thought of the gospel song, "Take Your Burden to the Lord and Leave It There." I pray that you enjoy beginning today's worship time by focusing on these lyrics.
There is no doubt that "You will always face trouble in this life" as Sarah Young reminds us in today's reading. I finally have realized that it's what we call LIFE!
The big question is, "How do we handle those troubles?" As I look back
on my life, I see far too many times that I tried to handle things
myself. I always liked to think of myself as very independent, which is
nothing but a fallacy! The older I get the more I realize that God is
with me in all situations, even though He does not always handle things
the way I tell Him to! I thank Him daily for His Presence in all things
and that He will help me face all of life's troubles. I especially appreciate Jesus' Promise in this regard from John 16:33: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace..."
What is the first thing you typically do when troubles come along or you think they are going to come? My ideas of "What if..." often cause such worry, but most of those "What if's?" don't materialize. Please share any thoughts and/or spiritual practices that might help me and other readers.
