God Is With You

God Is With You "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Romans 8:18 I have written many devotionals over the years about why do we suffer so much in life. We lose our jobs, have unexplained deaths in our family, have relationship issues, severe financial issues, problems with our children, the list could go on. I believe we can get some solace from the writings of the apostle Paul, who tells us to be content with all things. So often we don't understand why things happen to us, as we do not see all of God's great plan, but even during our times of struggle, we need to remember that God is still there. He knows what we face each day. He knows how our hearts ache, and how we are so burdened down with the stresses of life, but He also tells us that He will not give us more than we can bear. We can see the struggles that Job had, we can see the trials that the disciples had, as most were imprisoned and their life threatened continuously. However, they were content with their situations, and trusted and had faith in God that He would see them through all their trials and struggles. If you are going through situations in your life that you don't understand, you also have the promise from God that He will not give you more than you can bear. He is still there for you, just like he was for His disciples. Don't lose your faith and turn away from Him in your time of trouble, rather draw closer to Him. Continue to pray about your situation, be like the persistent widow, pray without ceasing. In God's time He will answer your prayers; He will lead you out of your valleys, and let you reach your mountaintops. There is no situation that is too great for your God to handle. Keep your faith and trust God for your answer. My Daily Devotional Volume Six May 28 Robert William Brock, Jr.
