God, Our Ever-Present Defender
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
Today's daily devotion
Problems Have Purpose
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.—James 1:2-4 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “God knew what He was doing when He constructed this world so that there was difficulty in it. That is what makes it possible for us to grow in strength and understanding. There is conflict in the universe and that is what makes life go.” The next time you feel pulled apart by a challenge, recognize how rich your life story is becoming by experiencing the hurdles and bumps on the road of life’s journey.
Mighty God, because of You I can overcome even the greatest difficulties.
