In this world we will go thru things. We will experience pain. We will have troubles. God does not promise to necessarily take the pain away. Notice, in Revelation, God says He will wipe away every tear from our eyes. That's a promise for the end times - when we get to eternity God will wipe away every tear. Here on earth, we're gonna go through things. God over and over again promises:
- I will be with you IN times of trouble
- a very present help IN times of need
- though you pass THROUGH the water it will not overtake you and the fire will not consume you
Now, can God deliver us from things? YES!
- Daniel was delivered from the lion's den
- David was spared from his enemies
- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were lifted from the fiery furnace
But there are times when we are going to have to pass through situations. But we can be assured that
- there is a fourth man standing in the fire
- He will uphold us with His righteous right hand (with the same right hand with which he delivered Israel from her enemies)
- He will never leave us or forsake us
- He will sustain us
Jesus said, "In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33.
