My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Karen Huang … AT THIS LINK … writes about a friend who had lost his job during the COVID pandemic and was wrapped up in fear, … wondering, … I need to support my family? … Where can I go for help?
Fear and doubt in the face of oppression or deprivation are completely natural reactions, aren’t they? But when we Christians reflexively wonder where to go in times of trial, the answer comes from the truth of the song linked above where the Brooklyn Tab sings from God’s word in Psalm 121; … and also from the Scriptures above, where God promises to provide what we need, … yes, even in times of deep trial or trouble.
And if any of my readers today are dealing with doubts or fears in a time of trouble, i pray that we all take heed from Jesus’ invitation (in Matthew 22:28-30) to let Him help us carry our load. And He will !!!
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your promise to care for me in this time of trial.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to let You, Lord, help us tackle our problems today and then again tomorrow. … Amen
