In times of Affliction

Psalms 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Praise the Lord!

Today we will meditate upon a burning question "What must a person do in the times of affliction, trouble, trial?"

When affliction hits you

1. You seek motivation from people.

2. You seek comfort from motivational speakers.

3. You seek someone who would advice you what needs to be done.

King David was also afflicted and have given some tips on what we need to do when we face trials.

1. Remember the vision, word, prophecy which God spoke to you when you were new in Christ.

2. Remember the deliverance how Lord delivered those who were afflicted and were given respite from the trouble.

3. Remember his statute, law and constantly meditate upon his word.

4. Keep his words in your heart so that you don't sin when you are troubled.

5. Follow his law with all your heart.

6. Perceive that He will never leave you orphans.

7.  Remember his judgement in the Bible, how he judged the wicked.

Saints, Jesus said :

Matthew  11:28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Today when you are afflicted and wonder who would listen to me, come to Jesus he will give you his peace which will surpass all understanding.

John  14:27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  

John  16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

God Bless.
