If God the Father did not swoop down and spare His innocent son from the suffering of the cross, He will not always swoop down and deliver us from our suffering either. But He will be with us through it all and work it all for good. This is where the rubber hits the road--will you believe as you and your loved ones suffer and no relief seems to be on the horizon?
Unbelief is seeing one set of footprints in the sand and thinking they are yours.
Self-focus leads to self-pity which leads to self-reliance which leads to self-destruction.
Faith is the bridge between our ever-changing emotions and the unchanging truth of God's word. Which side of the bridge will I stand on today?
Sin promises what it cannot deliver and delivers what it cannot promise. Sin promises a short cut to happiness at little to no cost and delivers long-term misery at great expense to yourself and others.
