It is easy to praise the Lord during the good times when things are going smooth; however, what happens when things turn for the worst when suddenly you find yourself in the emergency room facing life-threatening circumstances, or you have been diagnosed with a fatal disease? What happens when your circumstances do not change, when the Doctor says there is no cure? Will we stay faithful no mater what happens?
Shall we say with Paul; For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain ~ Philippians 1:21 or Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. ~ 2 Corinthians 12:10
My friend, God has a plan and purpose for each of us and no mater what the circumstances are that come into our lives whether good or bad are all under God's control. We need to trust Him as He knows the future and knows the larger picture. Continually call upon the Lord, He is listening and will always be with you to give you strength.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ~ Philippians 4:13
I will never leave you nor forsake you. ~ Hebrews 13:5
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. ~ Joshua 24:15
