Message from Scripture: 5/6/2021

 

Our message from Scripture today is Heb. 13:5. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

We live in uncertain times, with things changing around us at a rapid pace. We are very aware of the health issues that still plague our nation. The world is not getting safer, either. Personal suffering continues as well, and stress levels for many people are far beyond what they’ve experienced in the past.

 

Everywhere we look there is uncertainty and change.  Well, not everywhere.  There is one place of stability and security, no matter what happens in the world around us.  The Hebrew writer in our Scripture reference reminded us of God’s promise. The promise of God’s love and provision through Jesus is constant and sure; “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb. 13:8). Even in the most difficult times, we know God will be there to help us and care for us.

 

There is nothing we can face that God does not already know. There is no crisis or difficulty in life that is greater than His strength, His love, or His promises. We cannot deal with anything in life that He is not willing to go through with us. What confidence we should have then, no matter our problems, our circumstances, our uncertainties, because our Lord is always there to help, comfort, and provide. We can have this confidence; “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 straight your paths” (Prov. 3:5-6).

 

Today, let’s be confident in the love of God revealed through the sacrifice of Christ. If God is willing to do the greatest for us, He will provide all we need. As Paul said, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31). Today, lets serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who makes all this possible. God bless.
