Isa 30:20-21

 20 Though the Lord gave you adversity for food and suffering for drink, he will still be with you to teach you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes. 21 Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say,  “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.

This is a fascinating account of the presence of God in our lives. Tough times don’t mean God isn’t there. In fact, tough times are allowed by God. But, rather than keeping our distance from him, when we stick close, connecting through scripture and prayer, it make us so much more receptive to his voice. He has us covered, no matter what.

Pray for someone going through hard times today.
