I AM YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR SHIELD. I continually work--sometimes in wondrous ways--to help and protect you. As you put your trust in Me, your heart can leap for joy! Trusting Me and loving Me go hand in hand. When I search the hearts of My children, what I focus on most of all is the measure of love and trust within them. If you say you love Me but you do not really trust me--to take care of you and your loved ones, providing what is best in your lives--then your words ring hollow. To trust Me wholeheartedly, you must rest in My sovereignty: My absolute control over the universe. When circumstances seem to be spinning out of control, its essential to believe I know what I am doing. I orchestrate every event of your life--including suffering and loss--to benefit you in this world and the next. While you are in the throes of adversity, your greatest challenge is to keep trusting that I am both sovereign and good. Do not expect to understand My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than yours. The best response is simply to thank Me, believing I can bring much good out of the unwanted circumstances. This act of faith will encourage you and glorify Me. I rejoice when My struggling children give thanks in Me in song. Psalm 28:7; Psalm 18:1; Isaiah 55:9 Sarah Young~
