During the period of a few days, every reading of the Bible i read reminded me that ‘man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upwards.’ Job 5:7. I wondered if some big trouble was coming to me and this was preparing me for it. In the event I wasn’t faced with any extra problems and life went on the same.
But the result was that I was reminded of my many blessings and the protection of God. As on previous occasions I don’t need to list life’s problems and I don’t need to dwell on them , but the result was I was left with many of God’s promises to me. I marvelled and wondered as I listed them. You and I have a God who never leaves us Deuteronomy 31:6. We have a Saviour who has redeemed us. Eph 1:7. and has promised us a great future. Jer 29:11. Wisdom, much needed wisdom is available to us. for the asking as we traverse the tricky road called life. Is 53:6 There is a reward waiting for us at the end.
My expected troubles never arrived but I became more aware of God’s good news.
