“The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; He cares for those who take refuge in Him.”
Nahum 1:7 HCSB
Each of us will experience a day of trouble, and in that time we will find the God of peace, if we seek Him with all that we have and not give into self-pity. Tonight I spoke to a person who had given up on God because her son died at a young age. I suspect she was a he, but now dresses as a she. She was bitter and had created a whole belief structure to agree with her bitterness. She said, “when I die, I will go out to space”. I said, “you will go into eternity and then find out where that is for you”. She halted and search for a clever response. I told her about my faith in God and offered to pray for her, she refused. I spoke to another man about praying to God for His answers about space. He also stopped before he went on. I pray that these folk think about eternity and what it means to them.
My God is my refuge and stronghold in the day of trouble. No matter what He will remain God, I pray He protects me from bitterness and offence. I do not want an eternity without Him. Amen!
