Today's Daily Bread
When 33 miners were trapped in a Chilean mine deep under the
earth’s surface, I wonder if they felt totally lost and doomed to a slow
and painful death. Imagine how they must have been filled with joy when
they got a message from above that the rescue team knew exactly where
they were and that the process of getting them out had already begun!
There are times in all of our lives when we feel like we’re stuck in a
really bad place. Anxious and alone, we despair that we are out of
options and that no one understands where we really are in life. But in
such moments we need to remember God’s comforting words to the early
Christians who were stuck in a world where Satan’s presence dominated
all that was around them: “I know . . . where you dwell” (Rev. 2:13).
Their situation had not escaped the heavenly Father’s notice. And as
they were faithful to Him, He would sustain them until He rescued them
and brought them safely home (v.17).
The fact that God knows where you are and that He is very much aware
of the difficult situation you are in provides the confidence and
strength needed to live for His glory. So be encouraged. Remember God’s
words of comfort. Help is on the way!
You know the struggles that we face, Lord.
You know just what we need to endure them.
Give us the confidence to trust You because of Your
goodness and to walk by faith. Amen.

Our greatest hope here below is help from God above.
