One of my favorite things to do with you, my beloveds, is watch game shows. "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" is one of them. As you know, typically on game shows, each contestant has three lifelines. Once depleted, the player is defeated.
Thankfully, in the life of a Christian, defeat is not possible. We have unending lifelines. So, when puzzled and perplexed at your circumstances, call on the promises, they are your lifelines. They are your very present help in time of trouble. They will redeem you from the pit. They will cause you to soar as on eagles wings above the choppy sea of trials beneath you.
No need to despair.
Remember, understanding God and your circumstances are never required, believing the promises are. Get in the Word, call on His name, rest in the countless promises. You will find yourself singing.
David clinged to God's promises and His Word in all his affliction.
Ps 119:92
If Your law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my affliction.
