In this season of adversity as we see the collapsing of the economy, and the rise of turmoil, I want to encourage all to trust in God. We have to remember when we are confronted with life’s trials and tribulations, the bible tells us in Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge an ever-present help in the time of trouble.” As many persons now are faced with being laid off from their jobs, worried about pink slips, faced with foreclosure, and the rise of crime throughout this nation I want to encourage you to trust in God. For the bible says in the book of Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straights.” This writer of this book by the name of Solomon who was the son of David was encouraging us through the Word of God to first of all to Trust in God. It is interesting in the Old Testament scriptures we are encourage to trust in God, but in the New Testament we are encouraged to have faith in God. For in Hebrews 11:1 states “Faith is the substance of things hope for but evidence of things not seen. So this week I want to encourage many that in this season of difficulty, strain, and struggle to believe that even when you do not see your way, when you do not know the way, and your eyes have become cloudy with opposition, I encourage you not to allow your faith waiver because God will bring you through. Finally, I suggest that you acknowledge him and respond to him by letting the world know that regardless of what’s happening in your life, give him glory, honor and praise. Let everyday be a day of praise. No matter what going on in your life PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE HIM!!!!! FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISE!!!!!!
Be Blessed,
Dr. Rodney D. Waller
