The Bible On Troubles
Illustration
by Staff

The Bible is realistic about troubles:

  • Trouble seems to be woven into the fabric of living (Job 14:1).
  • Many of our distresses are caused by our own sin and foolishness (Prov. 21:23, Ps. 78:32-3).
  • Some difficulties are created by other people (Ps. 9:13).
  • God allows trouble but is always in control (2 Chr. 29:8).
  • We have a refuge and strong defense in the Lord (Ps. 59:16).
  • He invites us to call upon Him in our distresses (Ps. 50:15).
  • We can expect deliverance in keeping with His will (Ps 107:6, 143:11).
