How do you handle your low times? Times of anguish? Times of sorrow? Times of distress? Time of grief?
Difficult, hard, low, wearisome times come to us from 3 directions -our own choices have placed us in a state of anguish -someone else’s choices have placed us in a state of anguish -life circumstance has placed us in a state of anguish
This I know about a season of anguish: -you’re either coming out of season of anguish, -you’re in a season of anguish, or -you’re about to go into a season of anguish.
One might ask: How can we not be afraid when you put it like this? do we have any peace?
Yes, for the believer in Christ they get to know peace whether in anguish or not.
The person who follows Jesus gets to learn peace in the anguish. the non-believer just simply suffers to the point of embitterment.
Psalm 31 is one of those Psalms that shares with us through the pen of David, as inspired by the Holy Spirit, how to suffer well.
