The
Lord’s statement here, for us to be of good cheer because He is with us, is
profound in its implications. Having
been through a trial or two in my day (in fact, being in the midst of one right
now), I have learned that my happiness is directly proportional to my trust in
the Lord. If I trust Him, and believe
that He will make everything alright (and any suffering that I have is not wasted,
nor is it permanent), I find myself with the capacity to stand up to the
challenges of the day. If, on the other
hand, I focus on the unfairness of it all I begin a downward spiral that
ultimately results in misery for me. The
situation is the same either way, but remembering the Lord makes all the
difference in my happiness.
