Trouble ( Isaiah 41 v10)

The old spiritual goes ,'nobody knows the trouble I've seen '  , if I told you that we live in a trouble world you would agree?.One of Jobs comforters said,' It's human!  Mortals are born and bred for trouble, as certainly  as sparks fly upwards',( Job 5 v 7),he simple is saying that there is an inevitability about it,and I'm sure Job would have agreed with that,considering how he suffered. It is as if he is saying ,trouble hunts us,and dogs our footsteps, our Saviour said the obvious ,but its worth repeating, 'when you hear of wars and rumours of wars,( Luke 21 v 8- 9)  yes we hear plenty of that these days.but He goes unto say, 'do not be terrified'. Following ' Remembrance Sunday ',someone wrote,'Remembrance Sunday was a balm for our trouble soul', So many must feel sad weary, and troubled in these days but God is with the believer always,here is what He said to all His children ,'Do not let your heart be troubled,you believe in God; believe also in Me'. (John 14 v 1)
