Saturday, April 17, Trouble

Trouble comes in many forms. Some by my own bad choices and some because I live in this old sinful world. When I make bad choices and realize it and repent or correct, I still have to live with the consequences. When trouble comes my way through no fault of my own, I still have to live with it. How I live with it is a choice I must make. Do I grumble and complain and blame others, or do I trust God to see me through it gaining wisdom and strength for the future? My daily devotions and communication with the Father help me see the big picture. This life is but a short time and trouble will pass. Someday, I will be with the Father and there will be no more trouble to come my way. Pretty good promise in my book. Father, help me to look to you when trouble comes my way that I will Trust you for the lessons to be learned.
