Many times in life, things don’t go the way we plan or hope. But it is in these times that we need God the most. We need his word because it’s precisely in these times that all of what we know about God goes out the door, and the unbelief kicks in. But that is when we need to believe our God and his promises. So today, I leave you with some encouraging verses that may be just what you need to hide in your heart for a time of need.
