God Understands Our Needs
May 11, 2008
It may be difficult to release all the burdens that weigh heavily upon us. We know where to turn in times of distress and we know that we can trust God but sometimes life can be pretty upsetting and life can still bring unbearable circumstances.
Perhaps we don’t see God’s hand in the storms of life. It may not be recognized until after we go through the problems and the way becomes clear again. Then we can say, yeah, God was there all along!
So then we can say with assurance that amidst life’s trials is a God who cares and understands for each one of us. He loves us deeply and He died for us.
Each one of us can perhaps give God a list of burdens today. Each one of us will no doubt have a different list.
It’s what we do with the list is what counts. Do we trust God to help us? Do we wait long enough for the answers?…for relief? Psalm 91:14 says: “Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him, I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me and I will answer him.”
Perhaps we do call upon God with faith and assurance that He hears us. We must believe that He is our source of strength, peace and joy and power. When we offer worship and praise to God, and become His child He gives us His peace! Psalm 85:8 says: “I will listen to God the lord. He has ordered peace for those who worship Him!”
Psalm 91:15, 16 says: “I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
Wow! All that and peace too! God satisfies the faithful servants. If we are not satisfied then it must be on our part. We must remain firm in the faith…in whom we believe. God is always near to us. Let’s trust God more and more as our burdens grow deeper. Proverbs 30:5 says, “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield who take refuge in Him.”
In other words, what He says He will do. He will satisfy, He will give us peace, He will protect us, He does care about our needs. And He is more than able to give us relief from those burdens that weigh us down. We need to lay it at his feet, and leave it there!
