The Comforter, in the person of the Holy Spirit has been sent to encourage believers. He is the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. The way you see God will influence how you relate to Him and the manner in which you approach the hardships you're facing.

The Bible is replete with passages that talk about God's people going through trials for their faith. God allows fiery trials to prove the extent of your love for Him. Every believer at some point will experience fiery trial in one form or another. The good news is that trials will always come to pass - they are timed to last for a season and not designed to destroy the believer.

As it was with the salvation of Lot and his household, the Lord expects every saved person to escape for their life to the mountain without looking back or staying in the plain. Although they were saved from the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, God warned them of the danger of being consumed if they looked back or remained in the plain. Failing to heed the warning of the Lord, Lot's wife looked back and was consumed: she turned into a pillar of salt.

There is nothing that is hidden from your heavenly Father. He knows the number of the hairs of your head - that means he cares about every detail of your life. Those around you may not know or fully understand what you are going through but God does. Although his intervention may appear to be delayed, God hears your faintest cry and is working in the background to perfect all that concerns you.

Children of God are called to walk circumspectly to escape the traps of the wicked one. Judas was saved and became one of the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was put in charge of the treasury. Sent with the other disciples, Judas went to preach the gospel to sinners. He dined and travelled every where with Jesus, so one wonders how Satan was able to enter into him.
