God is with us....
Many people ask, "How do I come to terms with my times of suffering, times when it has sometimes felt like God has left me and I have been all alone?" Well, whilst as Christians we are not immune to suffering, God can draw positive things out of our suffering (Romans 8:28). Even if this does not make full sense of our suffering, it does bring a positive dynamic from it, as to some extent it cancels out the sense of waste we often feel from “the years that the locusts have eaten” (Joel 2:25). In Psalm 23 the Lord promises to be with us or as one commentator put it - God our Shepherd "confronts" the pain and trial with us! We were never meant to go it alone. Lean on Jesus today. Whatever the situation, Abba God is with us.

"The elect of God must therefore take heed, at all stages of the war with satan as deceiver, not to be swayed, or moved by appearances; for the apparent triumph of supernatural powers which appear to be Divine, may prove to be satanic; and appearences of outward defeat, which appear to be the devils victory may prove to cover the triumph of God."
