Previous Daily Devotional About
dealing with overwhelming distress… Revelation 16:10 Men gnawed their
tongues in agony 11
and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but
they refused to repent of what they had done. (NIV) In
our walk through life, sometimes our walk can be a time of overwhelming
distress. There are times when we are bombarded by trouble, pain, and suffering
from every direction. In the times of our distress, we can reach out to others
for help realizing when we reach out to others we may not receive the help we
need. When others do not help us in our distress, we must realize the world does
not revolve around us. When others do not help us in our distress, we must
realize the world moves forward whether we have distress or not. When distress
comes into our life, we can easily slip into denial and not want to face the
truth. However, for the sake of your loved ones and the other persons around
you, even for the world, you must be big enough and be honest enough to tell
yourself the truth. You must be big enough and strong enough to repent. When bad
times come, it behooves you to do everything in the world to find out what is
going on within you and around you so you do not pass your distress to others.
When distress comes, we are turned inward and we become selfish in order to
survive, to cope, and to deal with the pain of the distress. No matter how
terrible things may get in your life, your Lord God holds your heart next to His
heart. God knows your every hurt and pain. God wills that someday all of your
suffering will be over and He wills that someday you come to live with Him in
Heaven forever.
