Rejoicing in Times of Trouble

As a business owner, hard economic times are not what I covet. We are feeling the hit of the economy and have been since those stinking gas prices went up in the summer. Though they are down, our industry is still trying to catch up and times are hard.

Some days it is so hard I wonder if we will need to close. It is that bad & money is that scarce, but...

I am always reminded that even IF my business closes, even if a child would die, even if my husband should hurt my feelings, even if I have my dreams shattered...

God is Good.
God is Faithful.
God is Merciful.
God is Eternal.
God is...(you fill in the blank).


God is still worthy of the highest praise no matter what He allows me to feel or go through. He is on the throne and because of that I can trust Him even if it doesn't make sense.

That is how I feel today!
