Find God in the midst of the daily turmoil

Joel 2:13 - "Rend your heart and not your garments.  Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity."


We are never nearer to God than when we are troubled.  When we're comfortable and life is going well, we easily forget Him.  But, when we get into trouble and we cry out to Him, even though He's always there, sometimes the answer is what we pray for; other times it is 'lean on Me and you will get through this.'


This is why we should never give up on God.  Our bodies are dying every day, but our spirit can be renewed every day.  These present troubles will only last during our time here on earth.  I'm looking forward to the immeasurably great glory that will last forever!


Look for God in each day.  He is always there; whether it is to guide you along the way or comfort you in times of trouble.
