When we are in the ways of God we face great trials, challenges that when we are firm, not everything moves us so easily.
That is the importance of knowing that God is always and will be with us. Because it is He who gives us tests to know how much we depend on Him.
We started a long career in life, confronting it with positivism, faith and hope.
The life of Christians has many challenges and difficulties, it is more than a feat to be able to stand firm, for this the Lord gives us the spiritual weapons with which to overcome in bad times and a large number of councils through his word and other people and means that he uses to nourish our faith.
The obstacles will always be present; We can not ask God not to send them to us but to accompany us through them at all times.
In our journey through this world all things are transient, as is life itself; if we understand this, we will learn the lesson, to know that we will have ups and downs, ups ; finally it will be our faith in the Lord that will allow us to go through all the moments and go through our earthly existence of his hand.
We must be clear, that our best life will be in heaven, there will be no pain, no disease, there will be no suffering, but we will have everything in complete joy next to our beloved God.
Jesus told his followers these words of consolation: "Two sparrows do not cost a penny, and there is not yet a bird that falls to the ground without the father's permission." The hair on your head is even numbered. you fear, you are much more valuable than the sparrows, if you really seek God, he will take care of you as no one else will.
No matter what happens around us, God will always be with us. Even if we do not follow God's will, He is able to use the terrible circumstances and carry out His plan in spite of it. God has the last word in the events of the world. If you belong to him, you can rest and trust in the promise that says:
Romans 8: 28 (NKJV)
28 And we know that to those who love God, all things work together for good, that is, to those who are called according to their purpose.
Following Jesus will sometimes take us through hard instances ... but right there in Psalm 23 David reminds us that "even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we do not have to fear because God is with us". That is our faith! It is not us and our abilities, it is the Lord with His unlimited power.
Jesus Christ said: My peace I leave you and my peace I give to you, I do not give it to you as the world gives it, Do not let your heart be troubled In the world you will have afflictions, but have courage, I have overcome the world" He promises that will never fail us will not leave us.
