Ps. 9:9-20: The Lord is a refuge to those who are oppressed who put their trust in Him.
2 Cor. 6:1-13: Though Paul was oppressed and experienced many bad things for the Gospel, he stayed true to his calling for the Corinthians spiritual sake.
Mark 4:35-41: Jesus calms a storm that he and his followers are in.
These verses show that even when we are right where God wants us, we can and will experience bad things. When we go through those bad things that seem like bad storms. We are to remember that Jesus is in the boat with us (Mark 4:35-41), and is our refuge from the storm. so we can trust in him (Ps. (9:9-20). With that in mind, we should follow the example of David & Paul and face the storms and bad things in our life, knowing that God will help us through it (1 Sam. 17:1-49: 2 Cor. 6:1-13).
Challenge of the week:
If you are going through a storm or bad time, turn to God to see you through it.
If you are not going through a bad time, take the time to thank God for helping you through bad times that he has taken you through in the past.
Accomplishment of the week:
did you go through a storm this week? How did trusting God help you get through it?
If you did not go through a storm, what storms did you take the time to thank God for seeing you through in the past? How did that increase your faith in him?
