If you are in Christ, God is with you, no matter what you may be going through. The only way we're made right with God is by Jesus Who saves us. If we want God's face to shine upon us and bestow the peace that only He can give, then it must be by faith. We have access to God's favor, and it didn't cost us any thing, even though it cost Jesus everything. God gives us challenges and tribulations — not to harm us, but to help us become stronger and grow in character. And He gives us a hope that does not disappoint. He has given us the Holy Spirit to be with us and work this hope in us. Is Jesus your only hope? Rejoice in the grace that comes through Him!

Despite earthly tribulations and the futility of worldly powers, believers are exhorted to trust in God's providence and find joy in His unchanging nature. The message concludes with an encouragement to rest in the assurance that God preserves His saints and will ultimately bring glory to Himself.
