Difficult days easily turn into difficult weeks. Sometimes those weeks turn into months or even years. It is easy and natural to focus on challenges and hardships, especially when we are in the midst of them.
You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves. -- Psalm 80:6
Sometimes, we fall into the lie that the hard times are forever. But we can look to our fellow believers and know that our Lord is the only One that is forever. We can be encouraged by their experience that He brings us through the hard times, never letting go.
Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved! -- Psalm 80:7
NKJV
The ancient people of God knew hardship and affliction. And they sang with confidence that it only takes a single look from the Lord to bring about salvation and restoration. Let us sing to Him with that same confidence.
Be encouraged, Jose
