We must take confidence and comfort in the fact that God is not driving us into some valley somewhere. Rather, like the shepherd who leads his sheep and goes before them, God goes before us and leads us into situations He has already prepared for us.
Has God prepared every situation for us? Has He already endowed us with the help and strength needed to overcome? If so, why little victory or conquering? Have we not by faith and joy drawn out the well of salvation that which we need that He has amply supplied?
