We live in a world of tragedy and heartaches continually. It is part of the sin curse on this planet. It does not mean that our hearts do not break, and we do each face our own pain and paths of sorrows. Where do people turn to cope? Unbelievers turn to vain philosophies and sin. Sin can turn into addiction. They end up worse off than when they first began trying to cope.
Followers of Jesus turn to Him and to the word of God to find comfort, strength, and a shelter in the difficult times. [Ps 46:1] The people of God build our lives on the solid rock foundation of His word. [Matt 7:24-29] The same storms of life slam against us as well. The only difference is that our foundation remains steady, while those who build on shifting sands crumble.
What is the foundation you build your life on hoping it to remain solid in the storms. Finances. Riches are shifting sand. So is success. It can all crumble quickly. So can fitness and health. So can relationships. So can popularity. It all can be wiped out in no time.
Jesus remains. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. [Heb 13:8] His word remains forever. [Ps 119:160] Those who love that word will have great peace. [Ps 119:165] Keep clinging to Jesus and His word as the birth pangs continue since our redemption draws closer.
