"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all."
Psalm 34:19

This is a wonderful promise to cling to during our tribulations.  And let us not forget that Jesus did tell us, "... in the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."  John 16:33b.  Paul taught us in Romans 5: 3b-5, "... knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character, and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."  

Though we must go through trials notice that the Lord will deliver us out of them all.  He will see us through; and it is during these times of affliction that we grow closer to our Lord and learn to trust Him more and our faith in Him grows.  

I will trust in all Your ways, Lord ... let this be our praise and prayer to our Awesome Lord who says, "... lo, I am with you always ..." Matt. 18:20.  

Have a joyous day in our Lord!
April
