Why do hard times drive some to lifelong despair, while others work through despair to a confidence that is stronger because of the hard times? There may be many reasons, but certainly the most important for the believer is the way in which we know God. In hard times, do we perceive God as distant, uninvolved, even uncaring? Or is God present, connected with us? The Bible is he story of God with His people in hard times. Hard times may not be what we would expect to be the experience of Gods people but the Bible shows otherwise. Through the centuries, they endured disappointment, suffering, and death--outcomes that might have appeared to be no better, if not far worse, than those experiences by their pagan neighbors.
