Encouragement in time of need

There’s no doubt these are becoming increasingly difficult times.  Economic uncertainty, jobs are lost, retirements disappearing, the list goes on.  But like I mentioned yesterday these are NOT times of fear.  I want to follow up on that thought with a verse from Psalm 11:3-4

“When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?  The LORD is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne.  He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.”

What this verse says is that when all around us is falling apart, the “righteous” should look to the Lord.  We will see Him on His heavenly throne watching all that is happening.  He sees our struggles and He is unaltered.  There is no panic by God.  Picture this: Peter sees Jesus walking on water and calls out to Him, “Lord if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.”  Jesus called to him; Peter stepped out of the boat and began walking towards Jesus.  But as the winds picked up, Peter lost faith and began to sink.  He cried out “Lord, save me!” “Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him.  ‘You of little faith,’ he said, ‘why did you doubt?'” Matthew 14:28-31 Unwavering, unaltered, Jesus lifted up Peter.  He will do the same for us.

Look to the Lord in your time of need.  “In the LORD I take refuge.  How then can you say to me: Flee like a bird to your Mountain.” Psalm 11:1
