How many believers in Jesus really understand that when you are in troubled times, the Lord is with you. It really boils down to the question, “What is your relationship with your Lord?”
When you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can be certain that in times of trouble, suffering, concerns, hardships, difficulties, pain or tragedy, the Lord is with you. Many times, in His Word He reminds us of His presence in our lives.
In II Chronicles 15:2 we are reminded that the Lord is forever present with us when we are obedient to Him. He will never leave us nor forsake us. And if you seek Him, he will let you find Him.
In II Chronicles 20:17, we read to stand and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, we are not to fear or be dismayed.
Every day we will deal with the troubles of this dark world, but if we seek God’s will and not our own selfish interests, God will fight our battles and give us victory over our troubles. Over and over we are assured in the Bible that in time of trouble God will be with those who love and obey Him.
In Jeremiah 42:11 God gives Jeremiah these words of assurance, “For I am with you, to save you and to deliver you.”
In Haggai 2:4 Haggai gave a message to the people: All you people of the land take courage and work for I am with you. Jesus said the same thing to His disciples in Matthew 28:20, “I am with you always!”
When rough times come your way, it is time for you to immerse yourself in God’s Word. Read His promises to you. Read about His power, His strength, His wisdom and His love for you. The more you read and study God’s Word, the stronger your faith will grow.
The more you trust God, the more you will grow in your understanding that He is trustworthy in all things and at all times.
