"But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge." ~Psalm 94:22, NIV
God bless America.
Tough times happen. The world we live in is full of basically evil people with some good inside of them, and thus, courtesy of Satan, terrible, terrible things occur.
Does this mean God isn't good? Does this change God's status as God?
No. This means that when this sort of thing jumps into your life by surprise, you have a chance - have a choice - to make actual the Scripture. God uses even evil things for good, and one good thing is drawing you nearer to Himself. He wants to be able to come in, wrap His arms around you and be with you during those hard times. It's only in tragedy, in difficulty that we really get a picture of God our fortress, God our refuge.
God doesn't just want us to remember Him when we're in trouble though - He wants to be a part of our prosperity as well. So this Christmas - can you believe it's tomorrow? - remember, remember, remember that God sent Christ to die so He could be near to us.
