“Now
it happened when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the
Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with
fire.”

Samuel 30:1
Just because you are blessed and God has
anointed you does not exempt you from troubles and hardship. Yet the Lord is at
work even through these problems and trials. He just wants us to trust Him even
during these trying times. John 16:33 says “Here on earth you will have many
trials and sorrows. But take heart because I have overcome the world.” Romans
5:3-5 says “We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials, for we
know that they are good for us—they help us to endure. And endurance develops
strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident
expectation of salvation. And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we
know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill
our hearts with His love.” Be encouraged today. God loves you. He is working
even through your problems, struggles, and difficulties. He is with you helping
you endure and is strengthening your character. He is making you more like His
Son, Christ-like. Your confident expectation of salvation is growing. Psalm
91:15 says “I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.”
He will use your situation for good. Romans 8:28 says “And we know that God
causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are
called according to His purpose for them.” Let’s do our best and put our all
into trusting Him concerning our situations. Proverbs 3:5 encourages us to “Trust
in the Lord with all your heart.”
Father, sometimes we don’t know
why we are going through what has come our way. But we know that trying times
are spiritually good for us. They help us to endure. And endurance strengthens
our character and makes us more like Christ. Our confidence in our salvation
also grows. We rejoice. You love us and
You have filled our hearts with Your love. We are so grateful and thankful for
that. Be with us through our troubles and hardship, Lord. Rescue and honor us.
Use our trials for good in our lives. With all our hearts, Father, we put our
trust in You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
