Bible Question: PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND SCRIPTURES OF GOD SHOWING UP IN THE MIST OF TROUBLES? |
Bible Answer: Hi LISARR32, God is faithful and will indeed "show up" in the midst of troubles. But I suggest that you go to a concordance and look at the Scriptures under the word "trouble". You will find that God will rescue, deliver, and preserve us in the time of trouble. But you can notice in Psalm 107 especially that it is after we cry out to the Lord. Certainly if the Lord is our Shepherd He will lead us and be with us even in the shadow of death. But if we are rebelling and searching for other pastures on the other side of the fence, I don't think that we can count on Him showing up on His own to help us when sins get one into trouble. We can't go anywhere to be away from or especially to flee from His presence. If we know God and He knows our hearts and His thoughts are precious to us, then we can feel His hand upon us. See Psalm 139. Psalm 139:7, "Where can I go from Thy spirit? Or where can I flee from *Thy presence?" Psalm 23:4, "EVEN THOUGH I WALK through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for *Thou art with me." Psalm 138:7, "THOUGH I WALK in the midst of trouble, *Thou wilt revive me;..."
