Greetings,
Ever notice how some people don’t know you when you really need them? We all know the feeling of being abandoned by so-called friends in a time of adversity. They seem to avoid us when we are at our lowest, but when life is good, they are always around.
Oh, how thankful we should be for our Friend who will never leave us during those difficult seasons of life. He will stay so close, even when we’re being violently attacked by the enemy.
Psalm 31:7 (NKJV) – “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities.”
The psalmist rejoiced because God knew him not just in good times but even in adverse situations. The opposition the writer was referring to was people who lied, cheated, and tried to destroy him, for no reason.
Thank You, Lord, for staying with me, not only in the good times, but when things aren’t going so well. I praise You for being so faithful! You don’t just know me when I am on top of the world and life is good. You know me even in the most difficult circumstances and seasons that life can create.
Today, I’m worshiping with Bebe and Marvin Winans and “Stand.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
