shells and enjoying the early morning coolness. As the clear surf
rhythmically crashed over the rocks and sand, I looked into the
distance to the seemingly never-ending blanket of water. I knew there
was an end to the ocean, the other side of it, but from where I stood,
no end was in sight.
Isn't this exactly how troubles in our life often appear as we tend to
focus on the expanse of our inevitable problems, ignoring the end in
sight?
Like the ocean, in all earthly things, there is a beginning and an
end. So, too, with every sadness, conflict, or hardship, there will
follow a resolution and an end. With every storm comes the sun afterwards.
In the Bible, God tells us that, although we may feel alone, we are
not. Our Heavenly Father is there to hold our hand, to comfort and
offer peace to a hurting world.
If you are going through a difficult period in your life, now is the
time to call on Christ. The end to your problem will not be so far off
and it will be the beginning of a new relationship with Christ!
PRAYER
"Lord, you guard and protect us from all evil. Help me to stand firm in your word and to trust in your help in all circumstances. May I always find rest and refuge in the shelter of your presence."
