Affliction

Fig trees may no longer bloom, or vineyards produce grapes; olive trees may be fruitless, and harvest time a failure; sheep pens may be empty, and cattle stalls vacant-- but I will still celebrate because the LORD God saves me. The LORD gives me strength. He makes my feet as sure as those of a deer, and he helps me stand on the mountains. To the music director: Use stringed instruments.
(Hab 3:17-19 CEV)

Even though it can seem like the world is against us in every way, it is a great source of comfort to have God on our side loving us ,saving us ,giving strengh to us and making us sure footed.

We share in the terrible sufferings of Christ, but also in the wonderful comfort he gives.
(2Co 1:5 CEV)
