Good Morning!

The Lord is good, A strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows [He recognizes, cares for, and understands fully] those who take refuge and trust in Him.  -Nahum 1:7

In our day of trouble who do we lean on? Do we lean on ourselves or do we turn to God and lean on Him? He is there to be our strength and stronghold, our anchor. He knows and understands exactly what we are going through, but He will not force Himself on us, it is by our own free will that we can benefit from His strength. Do we also go to Him when things are going good? Do we thank Him for all the goodness He brings us? Or do we just go to Him when we are in trouble? 

“What gives me the most hope every day is God’s grace; knowing that His grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.”  -Rick Warren

“Maybe the mountain is me. Lord, help me move out of my own way.”
