“The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.” Psalm 37:39

In times of trouble, times of testing, times of pain, where do you run to?

When Jesus said in Mark 5:36, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe,’ He showed us where our stronghold is.

No matter what statistics say, no matter what your situation says, no matter what the voice of your society says, we have no other refuge than this command of Jesus, ‘Only believe.’

 

If we believe that God’s Word is true for our lives, and that our salvation comes from the Lord, that is where our strength comes from to run the race to the end, from within. This is our stronghold. 

GOD IS NEAR

God understands the language of the heart, the thoughts of the heart, the cry of the heart. And when the desire of your heart is to seek His presence in every moment, you will discover that in every situation in life, God is near to you.

WISDOM’S CALL

It is true that with time comes experience, but the divine wisdom of God knows no age, no race, no barrier or division. Today, make a decision to heed wisdom’s call, and this starts with the simple understanding that God is God and we should reverence Him.

WHAT BELONGS TO GOD

This instruction of Jesus reminds us that whatever we do in this earth, whatever we encounter and whatever comes our way, nothing should take our heart from God. Different responsibilities, challenges and pressures may fight for our attention but nothing should take the place of God in our heart, because our heart belongs to Him.
