We have them on our phones, in our kitchens, on our computers, and in our cars. We have become so familiar with them that we don’t know how to do things without them. Life doesn’t work that way. We have no touchscreens that will immediately react to our touch and solve our problems.
Isaiah 63:9 says, “In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.” When we face afflictions, the afflictions impact God as well. His presence will save us. When we are overwhelmed, God lifts us up and carries us through our struggles.
