Hey brother and sister!
How are you doing?
Are you steadfast and unmoved by all this going on? Are you having a hard time seeing the good in life right now because of all the chaos going on around the world. I want to take a moment and encourage you. You are not alone. For us as believers we have the promise from our God himself that He will never leave us or forsake us. Remember that once you accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior you are now a child of God.
In Matthew 7 Jesus says “Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”
We see in Matthew 6 Jesus also says ““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” See God loves to take care of His children. Now I’m not talking about a prosperity gospel here, I’m talking about your needs. James 4 talks about the proper way to ask God for things warning not to ask for our own selfish wants and desires because God won’t give us that.
There is also scripture over and over talking about our God supply all our needs according to his riches in glory. If we put our full trust in God knowing that He is in control we will find ourselves less stressed and more joyful.
So are we having a hard time Trusting God at His Word? Do we find ourselves beat down by life right now not seeing Gods promise our life?
If that is you I want to encourage you to cry out to God. Tell him your needs have a conversation about your trust in His Word.
After that remember this scripture daily
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
Romans 8:28
