One of the things we can be sure of in life is that some troubles will come into our lives. The question is how we will handle them. When a hurricane is approaching we must prepare for the storm before it hits to be safe, and have what is needed. It’s the same in life we know storms/ troubles will come, so we must be prepared. Our hope is in God and His promises, we need to know them, to lean on them. As we draw close in our relationship to Christ we will be comforted, His Word gives life. The Psalmist says he remembers God’s name/character and His judgments, the promises given. We need to remember and trust in them in time of need. To remember something we must first know it, that takes time to study and learn. When we know His Word and precepts then we can chose to obey, it’s then we can experience the comfort only He can give. “49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. 52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and have comforted myself. 53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 55 I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have kept thy law. 56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.” Psalm 119:49-56
