“In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord” [Psalm 77:2]
October 4
“In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord”. One of the good things about trouble is that it makes a man turn to the Lord. Often the deeper the trouble the more likely we will turn to find Him. As long as a man thinks there is some chance he can get himself out of the mess he’s in, the more likely he is not to trust wholly upon God.
The Lord is only really known to those who seek Him. In Him these find true comfort and condolence.
Is it any surprise that He does not always immediately remedy the situation when delay on His part results in our prolonged discourse and communion with Him? If your day of trouble has introduced you to One who is both helper and solace in One Person, you’ll not be quick to complain at the calamity that befell you.
