No matter what the situation, we can gain understanding from the lessons in the Bible. Every possible circumstance, every turn of events is included there. We need only to ask, seek and knock and the door will be opened.
In Paul’s letter to the Romans, for example, he describes the degree of faith shown by Abram, later known as Abram knew God on an intimate level and sought only to follow His guidance.
Paul tells us that this degree of faith brings us into an awareness of God’s Presence and that our hope is in our relationship with Him. He also says that when there are trials, these too will bring us closer to God. Tribulations produce patience which produces endurance which produces character which produces hope that will never disappoint us, “since God’s love floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.”
Regardless of the situation, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
God of heaven and earth, we give You thanks for this awareness of Your Presence, here, now and always. Amen.
