What does the Bible say about crisis?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that in times of crisis God is a present refuge for His people, sovereign over trouble, and faithful to sustain them through Christ. Psalm 34:17-20 assures believers that the Lord hears the righteous and delivers them, while John 16:33 grounds courage in Christ’s victory over the world. God’s grace is sufficient in weakness, as 2 Corinthians 12:9 declares, and Philippians 4:19 promises His provision according to His riches in Christ. Jesus warns that wars and distress will come, yet calls His disciples to endurance and watchful prayer in Matthew 24:6, 13 and Luke 21:36. Even amid uncertainty, believers rest in God’s good purposes and Christ’s peace, trusting John 14:1-31 and Jeremiah 29:11.
