As I look around me, I am troubled. I am troubled by all the pain and suffering I see. I am troubled when loved ones die. I am troubled when jobs are lost. I am troubled when I am a bad husband, or friend, or coworker. In today's devotion, I am reminded of who rescues me when I am troubled...Christ. In John 12:28 Christ says, "Father glorify your name". Through his death, God's name was glorified. Because of his death, I have a rescuer when I am troubled...and when I trouble others. Christ is the answer to all of my problems, not that I will have a problem free life, but that I have someone who walks with me when I am weary; takes care of me when I am struggling; turns the bad into good; works everything according to his purpose. What an awesome God.
God,
Please help me to recognize you and cling to you when times are troubling. Show me your way through it all.
Amen.
