Just as Moses and Israel could not go it alone facing the forces of Amalek in the wilderness, so too we cannot and need not face the challenges of this life alone. Thankfully, Christ has sent us his Holy Spirit, the Helper! He is our support in the face of trials and sufferings! And not only does God support us. He will also strengthen us through the trial, and he will establish us on the firm foundation that is Christ alone! But how is it that we will be firmly founded on Christ, our foundation stone? Why was it that the wise man’s house withstood the storm and wind and rain? Because he acted in faith on the words of Christ. Are you suffering because you heard the words of Christ and acted in faith upon them? Then the hope of 1 Peter 5:10 is for you.
