afternoon meditation

I used to think we are at bare minimum when we go through difficult times. I would say things like, 'the only thing I have left is God.' But I realize now that my situation during these times is no different then when things are going well. When we are living in abundance, God is with us and His hand is in those things He has blessed us with. And when we walk through the desert, God is with us and His hand is still in control of the situation we are facing. And in time, He gives us eyes to see how He has been good to us all along. Matthew 7:25 "The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Let us turn our eyes to our Rock and praise Him for His steadfast goodness and love.
