Don’t Suffer Alone / David Jeremiah

Don’t Suffer Alone Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6 We sometimes discover that a friend had a need that he or she didn’t make known or went through a time of trouble without asking for help. And we say, “Why didn’t you say something? Why didn’t you call me? You know I would have been there.” And the answer is often, “I didn’t want to bother you. This was my problem, and I needed to solve it myself.”

Such a scenario is going to play out on earth during the coming Tribulation. There will be multitudes of people who find themselves in a fix: They will have failed to believe in Jesus Christ before the Rapture, and they will find themselves enduring the pain of the Tribulation on earth. But hopefully they will not fail to call out to God for salvation. We know that many will call upon Him, based on the multitudes “of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues” the apostle John saw in heaven—those who had “come out of the great tribulation” (Revelation 7:9, 14). Even if they lose their life because of persecution on earth, their eternal life is secure. God always delivers those He saves. Don’t endure alone. Call out to God in your hour of need, and experience God’s comfort.   Calvary is God’s great proof that suffering in the will of God always leads to glory.  Warren Wiersbe
