For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.
(2 Samuel 22:32-34 NIV)
Trying to tackle life without God is like making your way alone through a jungle filled with perils. It is rough going – discouraging, disheartening, and often dangerous. On the other hand, the life of faith is one of being led on a well-kept path. Even though trouble may come along, it cannot overwhelm us because the Lord strengthens and guards our souls when we call on Him for help.
