Trouble can invariably steal away a peaceful and contented lifestyle when we’re least expecting its intrusion. This infers that no one has the privilege of avoiding trouble that visits each person at varying intervals throughout life. Even children face issues that could overwhelm adults.
Everyone must learn strategies for managing problems at different levels of intensity. David, out of necessity, learned to use the slingshot to protect himself and his sheep from predators. A basic strategy David used to manage his troubles was to seek God with all of his heart and then ask him for help.
Jesus reminds us that he is the Good Shepherd and his sheep know his voice and follow him. There isn’t a situation you could be facing that’s beyond help from God.
Jesus specifically encourages you to call on him when you are troubled and he will answer according to your need. Eagerly wait for Jesus to respond to your call for help.
Whoever
walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be
found out.
~Proverbs 10:9 New International Version
