Troubles ( 1 Peter 5 v 7 )

 Job 5 v 7 reads ,'Yet man is born to trouble as surely as the sparks fly upwards'. no one who has ever lived, or who ever live will escape some degree of trouble, Christian or non -Christian. Trouble is no respecter of  persons, there is no escape from it, but there is a God in heaven who has a special love for His children, consider dear child of God this wonderful verse from Psalm 55 v 22.

                                                   'Cast your cares on the Lord

                                                   and He will sustain you;

                                                   He will never let the righteous

                                                   be shaken'

If  you read the Psalm written by David, you find  he experienced so much trouble in His life, he had many enemies, and even experiences trouble from a friend. Overwhelmed by trouble he declares, 'Oh , that I had wings of a dove! I  would fly away and be at rest'. But that does not happen, instead he is driven to the one place,  and one person, the place of prayer, and the person of God. Dear child of God no matter how severe your troubles are, now, or in the coming days, don't give in to despair, have faith in God . William Plumer wrote the following,' Rivers of sorrow may roll over us, and mountains of care rest upon us, but if we cast all on God , He will sustain you'
