Strength

Proverbs 24: 10 says, "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." There is so much going on in life that we must be careful or we will be fainting because of all the evil surrounding us. Evil is getting worse and worse in all arenas of life. People have no guiding light to keep them on the path of righteousness so they do and say just what feels right to them at the moment. The solution to keep us from fainting when trouble has our address is found in Psalm 27:1 which says, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid." In verse 5 of this same chapter it says, "For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock." When trouble knocks on our door we need to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and he will be a very present help in our time of need.
