Psalm 21:6-7
Surely You have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of Your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.
I recently encountered a dear friend with whom I hadn't had any contact in a couple of decades. These past years, as well as their current circumstances are less than ideal, divorce, single parenthood, bankruptcy, recent loss of a parent. Yet this person said their faith has remained strong. It's one thing to say you have faith and joy when everything is going smoothly. But what about when it's not? How does this person still have any joy or trust in God's goodness?
They have learned the secret that really isn't a secret at all. It's written right there. God's love is unfailing and if my trust is in Him, nothing will shake me. The troubles, the trials I endure here on earth can't keep me from being glad because there are eternal blessing that can't be taken away no matter how bad circumstances are in this life. And I am never alone when I go through tough times. His presence is there, always.
