"Strange that so few come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light – to see its perfect success."
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
Adversity, why we should keep our faith

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Commentary: One of our keystone assurances from God is His promise never to leave us.  Through this knowledge we can gain peace and strength.
