Spiritual Strength For Each Day
“I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).
With Him we have everything! This does not mean that the Lord will answer all your personal questions, but He will answer you in that you suddenly see everything in a different light. We torment ourselves with impossible questions, have sleepless nights maybe, and toss and turn over problems we cannot solve. Now and again we sigh, here and there we utter a prayer, but we find no peace and continue to worry. Then, perhaps after a long or short time, we begin to seek the Lord with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all our might. We call upon Him and do not hasten from His presence—and suddenly He answers us. How does He answer? He answers in our souls and says that He is with us, and in receiving the assurance that He is with us, our burden falls from our shoulders. What a wonderful experience! People who seek God are surrounded by an invisible wall of protection, and this is immediately perceptible. The Bible describes them as follows, “The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him” (Ezra 8:22).
