Life can be so irritating, and even devastating. How many are the times when we wonder why God would allow us to have some of the troubles we face? And yet, if the Lord is with us, we find a way to make it through. And since God cares for all people, it is not surprising that we all seem to make it through times that might otherwise crush us.
Why does God help people? It is because of the great love He has for us. That's why He is helping you through the difficult days you face. God is with us. When He promised Moses that He would be with Him, He did not fail him, did He? And when He made the same promise to Joshua, that also proved true. God is with us today, as well. No matter what comes our way, God is greater. And no matter how we may fail to act in faith or perfect wisdom, God's love will not leave us or forsake us.
We often place our confidence in a bank, a retail store, a manufacturer, a politician, our own government. And all of these are only human beings, human institutions, humanly devised programs. Sometimes they work just fine, and many times they don't. Often we find that someone that we trusted has placed their own desires above any concern they should have had for us.
God, however, loves us more than He loves His own comfort. He gave up His one and only eternal Son, just to save the likes of us. Jesus died for millions of people who will never thank Him, never give His sacrifice a thought. He did not do it for praise or a pat on the back. He gave up His life for love. Just as many American soldiers sacrifice their safety and their lives for the love of country, so Jesus gave up His life for you and for me. He died so that we might live forever.
God's love does not waver, does not get pulled off track, does not run dry with time. God is not regretting anything He has done for us. He would do it all over again, if needed. His love is not conditional on how wise or perfect we are. His love never fails.
