"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (NIV) Isaiah 41:10
The Christian life sometimes poses tough challenges that we do not easily understand. In many instances, we are tempted to lose trust in God and give up. Some are experiencing incessant failures in their academics, job and family life.
Trusting God in difficult situations also depicts our faithfulness unto him – that he is able to carry us through. Trusting God must also transcend into our relationships with others. For instance, if we continue to lie and cheat on our partners, we are being unfaithful to God. Many marriages have been destroyed due to unfaithfulness. In like manner, our relationship with God can be ruined if we lose trust in His unfailing grace and providence. One the other side, you might be a victim of unfaithfulness as your husband or wife cheats on you. You are encouraged to go before God in prayer as you present your petition before him. Just trust that God is able to help you out of this situation.
Wait on him as you show love, compassion, understanding as well as remaining faithful to your partner. For God has spoken in his word: fear not I am with thee. I know some of you may be going through situations beyond your own imagination and you wonder how it is going to be better.
Beloved brethren, just have faith in God, trust in His word and be patient. His word says “for I am thy God, I will strengthen thee, yea I will help thee. I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Beloved, no condition is permanent. If we think it is, then the only condition which is permanent is no condition is permanent. This statement is unchangeable. What does it tell us?
There is no condition that God cannot change. He asked Ezekiel, can these dry bones be made alive again? We all know what God did with that case. We are still alive, so we are in a far better position.
Trust me, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. And with God in the boat, we shall smile at the storm.
