The War Cry | APRIL 2013
Part of being human
is that life inevitably brings unexpected and diffi cult
challenges that often shake us to the core.
The good news is that we are not alone, the battle is
God's, and God will guide us through the wilderness just
as He did for the Israelites. We can trust our Lord to
strengthen, comfort and sustain us with the physical
and spiritual resources we need to face these
challenges. In holding fast to scriptural promises,
we are reminded of the constancy, goodness and
sovereignty of God. Our faith springs from the knowl-
edge that we are people in whom Christ dwells
and delights, and that we live in the unshakeable
kingdom of God.
