Here is a Psalm for our times.
“O Lord, I give my life to you. I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.
Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.
Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.” Psalm 25: 1-7 (NLT).

Do you realize that challenges and tribulation are necessary for us to mature into strong Christians?
God never promised us a cakewalk.
As long as we are living for Christ, there will be arrows aimed at us. #trials #faith #depression #joy

Are we learning to be content in all circumstances? I confess I grumbled about a 3-day loss of electrical power, before reflecting on God’s faithfulness and His provision. Apostle Paul has something relevant to say about adversity and abundance.
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4: 11-13 (NIV).
What are your thoughts and experiences about lack and abundance?
