1 Peter 5:9 NASB "So resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brothers and sisters who are in the world."We are not alone! Today's Word is about sharing the same experiences as others. When I say we are not alone, many think I am referring to the fact that there maybe life on other planets! That's not what I am referring to. I am referring to the fact that although we may think we are all alone in our suffering, that's not true. As we go through some type of suffering, there are others going through it too, maybe not as bad as ours or maybe even worse, the key is that we are not alone. Besides others experiencing the same things, we have God on our side.That doesn't mean He will take it away but He will give us strength to get through it. He may even allow us to find others who will stand by our side and pray, comfort us and help us get past it. So, don't go it alone, reach out for prayer, help, and stand firm as today's verse says! peace, tom
