If all struggles and sufferings were eliminated, the spirit would no more reach maturity than would the child. --Elisabeth Elliot
Deuteronomy 4:30:31 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter day, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (for the Lord thy God is a merciful God:) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
If you are like most of humanity, from time to time, you will find yourself filled with great concerns. It is simply a fact of life. We worry about health, finance, safety, relationships, family, and countless other challenges.
The best place to take all those cares to is Jesus. He can handle it all. I'm so thankful that I can go to Someone to take all my troubles and sorrows to. He has no attitude problem, no estrogen-hormonal issues, He is not filled with ego insecurities. His time-clock is endless therefore I can call Him anytime. He knows the outcome before the beginning. Thankfully there is Someone who is always the same. He remains ready to comfort and strengthen whenever we give Him the opportunity to do so.
When distress and all other hardships come, if we turn to Him, we find that He is a compassionate God. Obedience to Him is a blessing. Serving Jesus by being faithful to His call is a privilege.
