We live in frightening times. Not since the Great Depression has our economic situation been so perilous. Terrorists threaten our country and almost every other country on earth, and it seems as though we are in the midst of a holy war. God calls for us to be strong and courageous; trusting God in all things. The Bible is full of examples of people in dire straits, people who trusted in God and persevered.
When we are faced with uncertainty, it is important to turn to God’s Word for promises of reassurance. There we can find words of hope and comfort. We can find peace for our troubled hearts. God promises to walk in front of us, beside us, and behind us as we journey through life. We are not to bury our heads in the sand, but we are to move forward, confident our ultimate companion is with us. There is no promise that we will not encounter hardship, no promise of easy passage, only the simple promise that God knows us; that God has a plan for our life; that God loves us and that nothing we do can separate us from that love.
Gracious God, help me to feel your presence in my life. Help me to draw closer to you and to trust in you in all things. Amen
