Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions, and my suffering the things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But wicked people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:10-15, NRSV)
Sometimes life seems to hard to handle.
Everything seems to be going against us.
We can not seem to get a footing and find our way.
We feel all alone and left out in the wilderness by ourselves…
But God has never left us nor forsaken us.
Just as Paul tells Timothy, even in the prison, God was with him.
We have to remember that even in the valley when it seems there is no where to go, that God is leading us on the path even when we can not see where we are going or think we are going the right way.
He will rescue us if we just believe in the promises He has given us.
