“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” Proverbs 17:17
The Bible constantly reminds us that life for the follower of Jesus will not be easy. There will be storms; there will be obstacles; there will be disappointments and there will be pain.
God never promises to remove those parts of our lives but he does promise to walk through those things with us and give us strength.
He does that in two ways. First, God gives us His Holy Spirit to encourage us and remind us of his power and love.
Secondly, He uses godly friends to be there to encourage us, lift us up and pray for us.
Unfortunately, many times we aren’t there for those people who need to hear a word of encouragement and love.
Remind yourself today of God‘s great power and love for you. Surround yourself with good godly friends and be someone others can count on to remind them of Jesus’ love and grace.
Difficult roads were never meant to be traveled alone.

“When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.” Psalms 94:19
Sometimes when we are challenged with something, difficult we move forward cautiously. There may become a time when we get to the point of no return. We doubt our ability to succeed and worry feeds our heart.
I see doubt and worry like driving into a tunnel. It can be dark and scary, you may question whether or not you’ll make it. And then you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then you know you can make it to the end.
Jesus is like that light at the end of the tunnel. We may worry about the future. We may fear what is in the shadows. We may question our ability or the motives of others. We may even begin to doubt Gods presence.
But when we look to Jesus we find the comfort we need to move forward. When he was on earth, Jesus constantly reminded us that he would be with us always. He promised us a comforter in the Holy Spirit who empower us through the difficult times.
In the dark shadows of a tunnel, focus on the light at the end. He’ll see you through. He won’t take the darkness away, but he will assure you that you will make it through.
