God doesn't always keep us from troubles, He will either take our troubles away OR He will help us through them and He will make all things work together for our good for those who love God (Romans 8:28). We do not even know how many times God has intervened and taken our troubles from us, He may have healed us and we didn't even know we were sick, He may have protected us from having a car accident, etc. Then there are times that we definitly know we are going through trouble it is then that we need to remember that God is right there with us going through those times along side of us. I was reading Psalm 18 this morning during my quiet time and verse 2 says:
"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my saviour; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety."
As I looked at the comments on this verse I really stopped and thought how great our God is and how much He loves us. He is a rock that cannot be moved by anyone, He is a fortress a place of safety that the enemy cannot come through, He is a shield that comes between us, nothing can touch us that hasn't gone through Jesus first, He is the power that saves our salvation is ONLY through Jesus, and He is a place of safety he is high above our enemies. What an awesome God we serve.
Sometimes when we are going through difficult times it is hard to remember that God is there with us, at least it is for me. I have to keep praying that God will help me to trust Him completely, I have to pray "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief" just as the father said in Mark 9:24. God WILL help us and protect us, we need to just continue to trust our awesome God.
