Sometimes I wish I had a magic wand and make life all smiles and happy hearts. But it is just not the case~ even for the child of God. Life sometimes brings troubles and trials and difficult people. Wouldn't it be great if we could recite some spiritually charged words and make problems go away~ but that is just never going to happen.
There is a thorn in my flesh that God has allowed to stay in my life. No matter what I do or how hard I try~ I just can't fix it. I am not alone. I know each of us have a heartache or two that causes us to have a knee constantly on the floor begging God to work it out for His glory.
Yet~ in the dark of the night when the hot rocks cause us to have a knot in our inner being there is help and peace in the midst of the storm.
Psalm 119
The Bible says to do right until the stars fall~ we need to just keep running to God's commandments and He will enlarge our heart. When our heart is heavy and breaking in two~ He can mend our broken heart and maybe just make it larger to bear the burden.
We can express our despair to the Lord~ but we don't have to stop there. We can ask for mercy and strength~ commit to obeying the Lord and cling to His promises. He will be faithful to carry us through any trial and fill our hearts with peace.
That promise alone can make the day full of smiles and happy hearts.
