God Will See You Through

God Will See You Through "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13 This week I was asked by a young woman who was having difficulties in her life, "If I get born again, will all my problems go away?" This is a question many people ask me, as they think if they accept Jesus as their savior that their life will be rosy and they will never have any further problems. The answer to this question is, "No you will still have problems, but you will have the power to deal with them." Once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He will give you wisdom and courage. He may even surround you with the presence of others who will provide you encouragement, help you carry your burdens, and even provide you with insight and practical assistance. However your burdens will be relieved when you read your Bible and soak in the wisdom and understanding that it will bring, as so many of the problems of life, and their solutions, are fully explained in its scriptures. When you face the mountains that may surround you, and you see no way out of your distress, just a little time with your Bible, will provide you peace and comfort. When you read the scriptures that state, "God will not leave you, or forsake you," these will give you comfort and assurance that you are never alone, that God is with you. Satan will always try to discourage those who belong to Christ. When problems persist, he may even whisper, "See, God doesn't care about you." But with the Holy Spirit's help, you will be able to combat the evil one and contradict his lies. If God dismissed all our problems with a single stroke, we would be left defenseless and unequipped to meet the inevitable attacks of Satan. God promises us that in the midst of life's problems, and the temptations of Satan that He will supply everything we need to see us through, even through the fiercest storms. Robert W.
