We live in a very hectic and chaotic world. Often one can feel overwhelmed by all the “gloom and doom” and be drawn into an attitude of discouragement, frustration, and even fear. One may begin to rationalize and try to figure things out and attempt to set a better course for ones own life.
But for the child of God, this ought not to be! Our God has proven that He cares. Throughout the Scripture we see evidence of His strength and power in coming to the rescue of those whose hearts were turned toward Him. Even in our own lives we can surely recall times in which it was clearly the “strong hand” of the Lord that brought us through.
God has promised overcoming power to His children, but He cannot give it to us when we are trying to do things our own way.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).
