A friend gave me this quote"The soul would have no rainbows, if the eyes had no tears."
Has your whole world fallen apart lately? You feel totally miserable; You want to yell at God "Why me? It's just not fair!"We all get there sometimes. That's why I think it makes sense to put this in right after I talked about joy.It's only as we get through life's troubles that we become stronger, hopeful and yes joyfull.
You might expect me to be taking verses from Job. We all know he went through a
lot of troubles; but his advice is only by his example.If you are having problems
with gossips or misinformation about you; check out the last chapter. God has a
word with Job's well meaning friends.
Now for the verse to learn, go to Psalms 27:10."Even if my father and mother
abandon me, the Lord will take care of me." Wow! Imagine how miserable you
would be if that happened. Isn't it great to know how much God cares?
David was in God's care as he ran from king Saul for many years.As a poet he
was always writing his heart on paper for us to see. That makes him someone
who holds your hand as you go through your trials. God is there for us too; but he
knew we could identify with David easier. Wasn't that great?
Try reading the rest of chapter 27, Then check out chapters 6 and 42.I had a hard
time choosing which of these to use for the memory verse. The bible's full of good
stuff, so just keep reading!
