Job 11:18- "And thou shalt be secure , because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety."
I got a very terrible news from my father last night. He said that his co-worker and a close friend of his was brought to the hospital because of psychological problem. His friend was not able to bear the problems in life anymore.
According to Inquirer Opinion (dated Feb 7, 2013), between 17 and 20 percent of the Philippines' adult population have mental disorders. This is such a depressing fact.
The Lord did not promise a bed of roses life. 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9 states that we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. We will experience troubles while we are still in the flesh but Paul said in verses 17-18: For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. What a wonderful thing to look forward to!
We can live in faith and hope every single day because God promised that He will be with us always. And God keeps His promises.
When the storm comes, look up to Jesus. He will give you the strength to go through it all. God will never ever abandon you. So hold on my friend, trust God to work in your life.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul. ~Spafford
