Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!
Trusting God in Times of Trial
In the world, and close to home, many are suffering this week. With the news stories we hear many tragic and depressing events.
The church my parents attend burned down yesterday. Friends have serious challenges with their families. Around the world, we hear of terrible things, and don’t have to imagine for too long how we would feel in a similar situation.
In these times, we still have a Savior. He invites us to look to him.
Like the disciples in the storm, he offers us peace in the midst of our battles.
The Bible says, “I’m the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world.”
Because of that, He knows our trials, and He offers to stay with us during them.
AdI forget that so often, with life events overwhelming me and robbing me of peace. But, when I remember, and go to God, He always reminds me that this world is not my home. And, as much as I like our little homestead haven, this is not my home, and we’ve got a better place to look forward to!
Have a great day!
