Troubles ( Psalm 91)

When I lived at home in Belfast we had a period of conflict,it became known as the troubles,things have settled down,the bombing and shooting are finished, Yet people will still have troubles ,it is part of lifes experience,for the Christian and the non-Christian.   It is important that we remember that being a Christian does not mean we won't have troubles,we will have ,Jesus tells us not to let our hearts be troubled,so what should we do in our troubles? Let us consider Psalm 91 v15 where the Lord says,'When they call on me ,I will answer; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue and honour them'.He tells us when troubles come, why do they come ?  in Deut 8 v11 we read,'Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God',I recently said to a man,who is a Christian,who is neglecting to meet with God's people,'Don't slacken the reins'. Troubles often drive us to our knees .Next He tells us,'When we call on Him,He will answer', James 4 v2 reads ,'You do not have because you do not ask God',so ask Him.And then we  read', 'I will be with him in trouble',in all our troubles He will be with us,we are not on our own in our troubles,and He is not passive,for we are told ,I will deliver him,and then he adds,'and honour him'.Read the Psalm and you will see the honours He will shower on His children .
