Trouble is Transportation

These past weeks I've had some "weak" days.  I never know when they'll turn up.  I wake up to the day, and have no energy.  The next day I might wake up to lots of energy.  There's no rhyme or reason to it.  I just have to go with what the day gives me.  On a recent weak day, I came across a quote.  "Trouble is transportation - a bad thing can take you to a good place."  

I sat and pondered that for a while.  It's so very true.  My "troubles" have time and time again taken me to a good place - a place of closeness and intimacy with the Lord as I call upon Him for His help.  "When I'm weak, He is strong."  I couldn't make it without His help.  He carries me through the weakness.  Staying close to Him is indeed a "good place."  I'm grateful that I'm not alone in my weakness.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  2 Corinthians 12:9

"He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power."  Isaiah 40:29

"I was with you in weakness."  1 Corinthians 2:3

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."  Psalm 73:26

I can do all this through Him who gives me strength."  Philippians 4:13

My "troubles" have led me to His care.  It's a good place to be!
