Tag: What the Bible says about facing trials

Psalm 56:3 (NKJV) 3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

Over the years there is something that I have noticed happening in the lives of many believers when we face a trial.

For some reason, many people tend to run away from God when they face something hard. They get scared, and they run.

This is a reaction of our flesh. The first thing our flesh wants to do when things get tough is to run away and put distance between the trial and ourselves. Oh, if only it was that easy to fix!

But see, when we run away, we are leaving behind the One who has the solution to our dilemma.

Instead of running away, we need to be running to Him!

God holds the answer to every problem we face during our lifetime. He has understanding that we don’t have. He has solutions that man can’t give us. And He understands us better than we understand ourselves.

So, it would benefit us if we would learn to go to Him, not away from Him because He can give us what we need to fix the problems we are facing. And the answers He gives us will be better than any that we can dream up ourselves or get from anyone else.

Let’s not make the mistake of thinking that it will always be easy, or that the answers He gives us will always give us instant fixes. Sometimes it will, but sometimes it won’t. And we need to be ready to accept that.

But there is one thing that can be guaranteed. And that is that when we go to Him, and we trust Him, the outcome will be much better than anything we could have schemed up ourselves.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
