When life gets hard, difficulties arise and there seems no way out, isn’t it wonderful to know that we can draw close to God (Ps 91). He protects us under His shadow, His wings and He is our refuge and fortress (Ps 91).

In the New Testament Jesus reaffirmed His desire to gather, protect and care for His people as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings (Luke 13:34). God charges His angels to watch over us (Ps 91:11). Nothing is too hard for our God (Jer 32:17).

First Corinthians 10:13 is one of my favorite scriptures: “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (NKJV). Temptation can be translated more widely to mean any kind of trial or tribulation. This verse shows us that we are not unique in the trials we go through; never think it is only you that has the problem you are facing!

Gods way out is by faith in his word (Mark 11:22-24). Cast every care on Him (1Pet 5:7) and speak to the mountains (problems) in your life, command them to leave (Mark 11:23). You are victorious and have authority over all the works of satan in Christ Jesus (Matt 28:18). Greater is He (Jesus) that is in you as a Christian, than he (satan) that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

Wow, I get happy just thinking about that!
