When Life Hurts. By Stephen Harrison Senior Pastor, Family Church
Life reaches points when hurt, pain, and chaos spiral beyond our control. At these times the temptation is to believe the deception hope, relief, and peace are things of the past. God is present, even in trouble. His presence brings security, peace, and comfort. He provides rest, strength, and hope. While we all need people to love, care, and serve us in our life during troubled times, at some point they will come up short - even the best of people. Not because they intentionally try to disappoint or simply don't care but because they are human. They can't be allpowerful, all-knowing, allloving, ever-present -but God can because He is all of these. He understands what suffering, rejection, and loss are
like. He grasps temptation, unexplainable. "He gives heaviness, and loneliness be- power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak. cause He's been there. Even the youths shall be exIsaiah 53:3-5 says, "We de- hausted, and the young men spised him and rejected will all give up.

They We turned our backs on him shall mount up with wings and looked the other way like eagles; they shall run and when he went by. He was de- not be weary; they shall walk spised, and we didn’t care. Yet and not faint" (Isaiah 40:29it was our grief he bore, our 31). He cannot be limited, sorrows that weighed him hindered, halted, deterred, or down. And we thought his usurped. He can do anything, troubles were a punishment anytime, anywhere. “With from God, for his own sins! people this is impossible, but But he was wounded and with God all things are possibruised for our sins.

Egypt (Genesis 45:1-8). Have you ever been swallowed by a whale? Perhaps you've "bitten off more than you can chew", but Jonah was devoured by a porpoise of prolific proportion (say that three times fast). But, the trial didn't last long and I'm sure it shaped his life from that point on. God never left these guys for a single moment. Never forget His faithfulness to Moses, Noah, Jonah, Joseph, Daniel, and you! God has and never will leave you. He will not abandon, forsake, quit, disown, drift away, run out on, or leave you high and dry (Hebrews 13:5). He is near to the broken hearted and saves those crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living" (Psalm 27:13).
