Hi everyone, welcome to Living Supernaturally. Thank you once again for giving us this opportunity to spend time in God’s presence through His word and a few moments in prayer as well. Nahum chapter 1, verse 7, ‘The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.’ One thing in life that is certain is that life will change, things will not always be constant. We will have good moments, difficult situations and seasons. In peaceful moments, it is easy to turn to the Lord but what about at times of turbulence? It is difficult! A way to ease our suffering in those difficult moments is to already have made a habit, a practiced skill in turning to the Lord, trusting in God in both good and bad times. In Nahum’s day, Ninevah was the capital of the powerful Assyrian empire. The Assyrians had laid to waste the Northern kingdom of Israel and about 20 years later, the Assyrian army surrounded Jerusalem and threatened to destroy it again. God did deliver Jerusalem. In 2 Kings chapter 19, we read that during the night an angel of the Lord went out into the Assyrian camps and put to death about a hundred and eighty-five thousand troops. So, Sennacherib broke camp and returned to Ninevah where he too was soon assassinated by his own two sons. Perhaps, Nahum had this incident in mind when he spoke about the Lord being a refuge in times of trouble. The bible says that we can trust in God no matter what life throws at us. When we feel like we don’t have the strength to go on, we need to understand and believe this truth. It is a reminder of how God is loving and His faithfulness has taken us through to many seasons and will continue to take us through. We need not fear because His plans are perfect. Let’s celebrate together with joy knowing that our Father loves us unconditionally, through the difficult times just as He loves us during the good times. There are many ways we can put our trust in God during tough times; here are 6 simple ways, recognize that God has a plan for your life. Remember the amazing things that God has done for you in the past. Resist giving up. Recognize that God is still there. Read His word. Finally, reach out to Him in prayer. Let’s pray, Father, we thank you for your word and this time in your presence. I pray that even as we have heard from your word that you will speak and minister to our hearts, that you will enable us to trust in you through the seasons of life and know that you are always with us. The promise is you will never leave us nor forsake us, we ask this, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
