This Too Will Pass

From: New Life Daily Devotion - Steve Arterburn

Micah 7:8 "Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."

Have you ever faced challenges that seemed too big to handle? Have you ever faced big problems that, despite your best efforts, simply could not be solved? If so, you know how uncomfortable it is to feel helpless in the face of difficult circumstances. Thankfully, even when there’s nowhere else to turn, you can turn your thoughts and prayers to God, and He will respond.

God’s hand uplifts those who turn their hearts and prayers to Him. Count yourself among that number. When you do, you can live courageously and joyfully, knowing that “this too will pass” — but that God’s love for you will not. And you can draw strength from the knowledge that you are a marvelous creation, loved, protected, and uplifted by the ever-present hand of God.

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty. Peter Marshall
