Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

- Ephesians 6:17



 




God will always be there with us, even in times of difficulty...

October 14,2023

Good morning, everyone. I want to start with a story. Imagine you’re a carpenter and you’re building a house. You pour your heart and soul into it. You make sure every detail is perfect, and every nail is in its place. But then the rain comes, and it starts to leak. Your hard work is ruined.

This is how life sometimes feels. We put in so much effort and it doesn’t seem like it’s paying off. We feel like all our hard work is being wasted. This is

why we need to remember the words of Corinthians 1:5: “For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ, we share abundantly in comfort too.”

This verse is telling us that no matter how difficult life gets, God is always there with us. He understands our struggles and He offers us comfort in times of difficulty. This is a reminder we need to keep going when life gets hard.

The first key idea I want to leave you with is that God is always with us. He is the one who understands our pain and suffering and is always there to offer us comfort. This is illustrated in the story of Job, where God tested him with suffering but eventually rewarded him with great blessings. The same is true for us: no matter how difficult life gets; God will always be there to comfort us and to reward us in the end.

The second key idea is that we should never give up hope. In times of difficulty, it can be easy to become discouraged and give up. But the Bible tells us in Romans 5:3-5 that “we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame.” So, no matter how difficult our situation may be, we can take comfort in knowing that God will bring us through it if we don’t give up hope.

The third key idea is that we should always seek God’s guidance in times of difficulty. We can turn to Him in prayer to ask for help and wisdom in dealing with our struggles. He will provide us with the strength and guidance we need to get through whatever situation we’re facing.

So, as we reflect on these ideas, let us remember the words of Corinthians 1:5: “For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ, we share abundantly in comfort too.” God will always be there with us, even in times of difficulty, offering us comfort and hope. He will provide us with the strength and wisdom to get through any situation if we seek His guidance. So let us never give up hope, for “with God all things are possible!”
