What difficult situation did you wake up to today? Whatever it is, if you belong to Jesus Christ, then there are four things that are as true today as they were yesterday. Clinging to these truths will bring you peace....
1. God is wise. He knows what He is doing in this situation, just like in every other area of your life.
Romans 11:33:
"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!"
2. God is good. He can only do what is right, and only has His glory and your good in mind through this as He always does in every other area of your your life.
Psalm 34:8:
"O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!"
3. God is loving. Though it is hard to make our minds think this way, God designed this to be one more way of demonstrating love to you.
Psalm 103:8:
"The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness."
and finally...
4. God can be trusted. Since the above three things are true about God, then you can rest in the truth of who He is, and the assurance that whatever He is doing, He is for you.
Proverbs 3:5,6:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."
He has given you His precious Son, Jesus Christ. How will He withhold anything else that you truly need?
Romans 8:32:
"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?"
He has met your greatest need already on the cross, and this is not too hard for Him. Whew!
