The Lord is good,

A stronghold in the day of trouble;

And he knows those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7

 

If you are a child of God, you typically go to God when trouble comes your way. Today’s verse reminds believers that He is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. God is your rock and without him helping you navigate this life, you surely will sink.

 

And Jesus said to him “O you of little faith, why did you doubt”? Matthew 14:31

 

I recall the story of Peter, who wanted to walk on water to Jesus (Matthew 14:22-33). He started out well as he stepped out of the boat and onto the water, but the waves were fierce and he doubted his faith to come to Jesus on the water, he sunk. Yet, Jesus rescued him even when his faith waned.

 

Maybe you trust God in certain circumstances of your life, but when the battle gets fierce, do you still trust Him to continue walking in faith? He knows your heart, He knows if you are “all in” to trust Him when trouble comes. He wants you to walk on water of faith. Trust Him every step in every storm you face in life and He will see you through it. Does He know you will trust Him today?
