Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
There will be times in our lives when we get discouraged. We may feel overwhelmed with negative situations and circumstances that never seem to go the way we want or planned. If you are there please allow me to encourage you with the scripture of the day. It says many are the afflictions of the righteous. Now that may seem like an unfair statement. But we must realize that God never promised us a problem free life. Remember the scripture that says those who live godly shall suffer persecutions? (2 Timothy 3:12) But He did promise to always be with us and to strengthen us. The scripture didn't stop on a negative note. It continues with the Lord delivereth him (us, the righteous) out of all of our afflictions! What a liberating truth! God will deliver! Yes, you may be in the heat of your situation but you must have confidence that God is going to deliver. Be still and know that He is God and there is nothing too hard for God! God will deliver you from all your afflictions.
