Closing Thought: It is true concerning your sufferings, dear brethren, that God's got this and He's got you too. But do not think irrationally: Satan is real and intent on swallowing you up, so watch out. He will use people and your own desires to lure you into sin. This is the Christian life; it has always been this way, and it will remain so until Christ returns. When suffering, do not run; stand firm in the faith, remember that God is in control, and trust Him.
