Psalms 29:11
Psalms 29:11
The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Fighting life’s battles can be emotionally draining and sap one's strength. If you have ever had to face a situation that defies human solution after several attempts, then you would know that human capacity has an elastic limit. Life plunges us into unpleasant situations that we cannot bear or handle, leaving us feeling dejected, helpless, and hopeless. Believers are not exempt. Knowing and serving God does not make us immune to distressing circumstances. We pass through certain events that might make life lose its meaning or tempt us to renounce our faith. We become incapacitated, having no power of our own to withstand the challenges we face. As believers, we have God as our present help in times of trouble, as well as our source of strength. There are situations we go through in which God delivers and rescues us, but He can allow some to persist so as to refine us and transform us. He gives us strength in times like this to persevere and keep faith, whether we are being persecuted or suffering loss. While we are going through these hard times, God can give us peace even in the midst of chaos and adversity. Our minds are at rest because we know that God is with us and He is working things out for our good.

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
