Behind the Scenes
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in time of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 9:9-10 NIV
Life is not perfect all the time. Everyday, we encounter difficult situations, things that are hard to understand and stuff that breaks our heart. I find this promise of God's help comforting as well as empowering.
God is always at work on our behalf, doing what is right and best for us. Even when we cannot see what He is doing or when we don't understand why things are the way they are, God is in the mix. He always has a plan in place that He is working on.
The plans of God in our life are always in motion. They are actively preparing us for things to come. For this reason, it is important that we make time to have a conversation with Him everyday and to read our Bibles.
It is in the Bible, that we will find answers to our questions and solutions to our problems. We'll find wisdom to lead us and the assurance of God's love to strengthen us. We'll find comfort in our times of sorrow and unspeakable joy as we celebrate our successes.
God is working His plan several steps ahead of where we are. We don't appreciate this until after something has happened and we look back and see how He was preparing us for that very moment.
The promise in verse 10 above can be used to help you through every season of life. If you seek God and trust in His love and help, He will stand by your side and assist you. God will never leave you nor forsake you (Deut. 31:6).
We don't always see the hand of God at work in our lives but we can't let that stop us from trusting that He is.
