Reflecting on a Verse that Provides Comfort by Jacob Smith (In Reference to The Hiding Place, which we are currently reading)

"Be alert and of sober mind.  Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast." 1 Peter 5:8-10 (NIV)

This gives me comfort because it assures me that I am not alone.  Not only is God always with me, believers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  So not only does this verse give me comfort, it is also my favorite verse I know.
