This is a terrible time of adversity for the whole world
Anywhere, you put your finger on the map. You'll find all kinds of trials that people are facing
You know life can throw you some curves
And it's not just the things that you see coming
But sometimes it's the things that you didn't see coming that hit you out of nowhere
That set you back in such a way that it seems like you can't get over it
And we you know are dealing with a lot of normal times where people feel like already their plate is full
And then all of a sudden out of nowhere
There comes these
unexpected things that just make us feel like we're overwhelmed
And you've reached your limit
And your bandwidth is full and you already said I can't take another
thing and then out of nowhere here comes something you didn't see coming and you're in it
This question
Am I going to make it
Is something that each and every individual is asking themselves all over this nation and in many places of the world
And in your homes somewhere in your heart. These words are echoing. Am I going to make it
Is my business gonna make it through this economic trial
While this nation and this world are caught in a storm
While we're saturated daily in headlines of despair and doom
While we're watching the world that we live in
shaken to its knees do not think for a moment that Christ is not aware. Do not be fooled about the voices of the cynics
and skeptics that say where is your God now. He's not worried about this storm. He's in control of this storm
He's not concerned about the outcome
He's the one who holds tomorrow
He knows exactly
What's going to happen in our future while these winds and these waves of turmoil seem to tear our world apart we need to
understand that God is in control
God is not disconnected from this situation
God is not unconcerned about his children
God is not unaware of what we're going through God is in total control
Are you in the desert of your days? Are you going through a great storm? Are you discouraged?
Are you weary? Are you frightened? Are you overwhelmed?
Our God is a miracle working God he is going to bring us through this crisis
We are going to be more than conquerors in this crisis. There is a storm
But God Almighty is still on his throne
And everything is going to be alright
Shake off feeling sorry for yourself shake off
don't nobody love me talk shake off all of that talk of you know being a victim
It's time to encourage yourself in the Lord stand up to life stand up to this challenge and encourage
yourself in the Lord, it's bad
We've lost a lot and we don't have a guarantee of anything in the future except God is with us
We are never alone in our adversity. He's always there
Sometimes you don't feel he's there sometimes you wonder we're in the world God are you
He's always there you remember that verse I will never leave you nor forsake you
Period
You cannot walk through one moment of adversity as a child of God without his presence
I will never leave you nor forsake you period
Not accept if what no a child of God is always in the company in the presence
of Almighty God through his son Jesus Christ
Who lives on the inside of us what an awesome assurance
When I am lonely, he is the friend that sticketh closer than a brother. When I am sick
He is the great physician. When I am under attack. He is my hightower
He is the shelter in the time of the storm. In the day of battle. He is my fortress
My shield
My buckler, he is Jehova Shamma the Lord who is there in the greatest storm of my life
He is walking toward me on the water in the midnight hour
Shouting fear not it is I. I will never leave you nor forsake you even to the ends of the earth
That's the kind of God we serve
Triumphant in the day of trouble
