“The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.”
Nahum 1:7 (NIV 1984)
When there’s no way to feel better in the moment, we have to place our feet on the only solid ground there is—God’s truth.
His truth won’t shift with feelings.
His truth won’t drown in a sea of tears.
His truth won’t leave you even when your gut honest cries don’t sound so Christian.
