Trouble

You know, we seem to be bombarded on every side with trouble, whether pandemic or humanmade circumstances. But this morning, my walk through the garden of 1 Chronicles 14 reminded me and reassured me -that no matter what trouble besets you...

 

No matter what trouble besets you,

Don't you forget to pray

Because if you do you will be throwing

A golden opportunity for help away.©

"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."  (Job 14:1 KJV) But Job made it through his troubles to be blessed tremendously in the end.)

“And the LORD helped David wherever he went.” (1 Chronicles 18:6, NASB)

 

Trouble was here before you were born

Trouble was here before you knew you were you

Yet Almighty GOD always kept you

And when trouble and you became acquainted

Almighty GOD brought you through.

The word trouble covers every contingency,

Be it, pandemic sickness or what have you

The same God that kept David

Knows, and keeps you, too.

You see, sometimes trouble comes in

The form of men, who can be so mean

But I don't long despair because I have

The GOD of David working behind the scenes

-Working for whom, for this little old

Christian called me

And I don't care what you think or say

My FATHER, my GOD, tells old trouble

To let me be.

And I will shout, "Trouble over, free at last

All of that trouble is long past

And I can tell you, world, that the GOD

Of David holds HIS children fast!"©

I don’t care what your brand of trouble is; If you are GOD’s child, HE is aware of it and is making plans to take care of it just as HE has always taken care of you, that is if you are prayerfully living for HIM.

And another thing, some folks on Sundays do not collectively meet for worship because of the pandemic, but they still meet in prayer via phone calls, videoconferencing, etc. Down through the ages, GOD's children have prayed whenever and wherever trouble found them or drove them. When you read your Bible, you will find that some prayed from dungeons, prisons, caves, etc., but they still prayed!

Pandemic seems to say,

"It's too hard to give thought to pray

Don't worry about it; your GOD's gonna

Help you anyway."

But I lift my voice to say

"Liar, pandemic, for my Bible does say

'You have not because you ask not.'"

So children, keep the faith and hold on

And ask GOD for help in carrying on

For help is on the way and it won't be long.©
