Experiencing Trouble? Take Heart!

One of the things we can expect in this world is trouble.  Each day has enough of its own.  Some days, it feels like a whole week’s worth hits you all at once as if you’ve been banking it for such a time as that.

Jesus tells us to expect it because when we’re unprepared, it can hit us like a ton of bricks.  Spiritual attack in the form of discouragement can get the better of us unless we keep our focus that this life is just a shadow of the real life that is ours in Christ.  Jesus doesn’t promise to rescue us out of every trouble, but He does say that no one can snatch us out of His hands.  He is faithful to preserve us through any trouble that comes our way.  Be of good cheer!  Take heart!  Be encouraged!
