Suffering, affliction, persecution, tribulation, and trouble are part of the Christian life.

Sometimes God delivers His children from these difficulties. 

At other times God allows us to experience them for various reasons.

This study will cover the following topics:

• God is our Saviour, not only eternally, but also temporally.
• When and why God allows us to suffer and doesn’t deliver us from it.
• Examples of when God doesn’t even deliver His children from death.
• Four possibilities of how judgment will be meted out to a nation.
• Biblical examples of God either delivering a people for the righteous among them or delivering the righteous alone.
• Having hope because of past deliverances, both Biblical and personal.
