Psalms 9:1-2
We
are given amazing privileges when we trust in Jesus. Recalling these promises
is a good way to maintain a thankful heart, even when facing challenges in
other areas. Consider four such blessings:
Christ’s
gift of salvation: No matter what trial we’re facing, it is
microscopic next to the enormity of Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf. The cross
was a steep price to pay, but the Savior willingly took our place in order to
offer us forgiveness and eternal life.
Assurance
of God’s love: The Lord cares for us unconditionally—that is His very
character (1 John 4:16). Unfortunately, the storms of life can cause us to
question this, but Romans 8:31–39 unequivocally tells us that nothing can
separate us from God’s love.
Answered
prayer: We have the awesome privilege of talking to the Father about
anything burdening us—and He never grows tired of listening to His children.
Our omnipotent, omniscient God is not only able to help us in any situation; He
also knows the best possible way to do so.
A
personalized plan: The Lord has a will, plan, and purpose for our lives
that He will accomplish if we obey Him. No one is exempt from adversity, but we
can trust God to bring good from everything He allows to come our way.Hardships,
temptations, and tests will touch us all, but the Lord allows difficulty for a
reason, even when we don’t understand why (Romans. 8:28). Therefore, submit
yourself to the Father, thank Him for His wisdom, and be confident that He will
accomplish His purposes for you.
