-Strength for Today-'When You’ve Done All You Know to Do…. Trust God!" -Romans 8:28

    As you go through life, you’ll find many things that will not make sense to you, such as:

·       Trials,

·       Difficulties, and

·       Sufferings,

    Because these emotional, and mental actions, brings out a variety of attitudes and responses. Some people become angry with God for allowing the situations, while others are able to rejoice in Him knowing that He’s doing something good in their lives through the presence of evoking hardships.

     I’ve found that when my mind is plastered with the insecurity of worry, that this is the best time to simply say, "God I thank you and I praise you." Now you might say, “that sounds hypocrital, because when I’m standing in a pool of alligators, I don’t feel like praising God.” But we’re to thank God in everything, (1Thessalonians 5:18), and this is only done when we move beyond our:

·       Feelings to

·       Faith.

    Remembering that, God causes, “All things to work together for good to those … who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28), and that He will:

·        Perfect you,

·       Establish You,

·       Strengthen you, and

·       Settle you, (1 Peter 5:10),

    So that you’re able to stand those anguishing trials. Life isn’t a problem to be solved, it’s a mystery to be lived. In other words, we don’t live by explanations, we live by promises. It takes more faith to trust God when we don't understand than when we do.

    You may never know why you are suffering. Because the mind of God, exceeds the consciousness that has been levied to our frail finite comprehension. but we can know that He’s:

·       Sovereign, and that

·       He’s sufficient,

     And that He loves us and is working every situation out for our good! So

·       Praise Him!  And

·       Trust Him!

      Because He knows what’s best for you and me, and is working out every situation for our good!
