God Does Not Abandon His People in the Evil Day - Don Currin

Understand this morning

no matter what you're going through,

the fiery assault may be great hurt

and difficulty in your marriage.

I mean it literally sucks
the breath out of you.

It may be a wayward child.

It may be something

that you've incurred in a relationship.

Perhaps you've been misrepresented.

Or, maybe what they've said about you

is absolutely true,

but yet you cannot handle it.

It is literally just stifling you.

I don't know where the fiery
assault is coming from;

what it consists of,

but listen,

if you know Christ,

believe that Jesus is for you.

God is for you.

It is no waste of words;

it is no casual exhortation

when Paul says,

"Stand strong in the Lord

and in the power of His might."

Understand that God is for you.

When I spoke at a Fellowship Conference,

on one occasion a young man came to me.

He told me immediately, he said,

"I believe I've been abandoned by God."

He was a pitiful picture,

ravaged by the enemy.

He told me, he said,

"I can't really pray.

I have no sense of God.

There's no confidence toward God."

And so finally, after listening to him

for a few minutes, I said,

"Young man, you're here at the
conference, aren't you?"

He said, "Yes."

I said, "You paid your
registration to come, didn't you?"

"Yes."

That was an act of faith.

"You drove over here five hours

to attend this conference.

Didn't it cost you? Gasoline?"

"Yes sir."

I said, "You've sat here,

and I've watched you as I've preached.

You've exercised rapt attention

to the truth of God's Word.

That speaks. Do you realize

that's an act of faith?"

"Yeah."

I said, "Do you understand

what the psalmist said in Psalm 9:10?

That they that seek the Lord

have not been abandoned by the Lord?

Your very presence makes a statement.

God is for you."

His countenance lifts.

Yes! He's for me!

He's for me!

You've got to understand, friend,

that God is for you.

This is how you're strong in the Lord

and the power of His might.

He has not abandoned you.
