If you live in this world you will experience trials, affliction, illness, and personal loss…there’s no way around it. And while you may successfully find distractions during the day to divert your mind & attention…it’s when your head hits the pillow at night and you’re alone with those troubling thoughts…when confusing & conflicting emotions overwhelm you…and when that tear-stained pillow bear witness to the grief, sorrow, & emotional pain within… that’s when only God’s Presence can quiet your mind. Charles Spurgeon once said, “When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.” Only God can be our shelter & refuge, for only God is Sovereign over all, and only in Him can we truly find peace, comfort, and hope. “The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces…” (Isaiah 25:8)
