Regardless of
where you are or what you are going through, do yourself a favour and believe
God’s promises to you.
He is not a man that He should lie and He doesn’t go
back on His promises. He is ever-so-faithful even when we are unfaithful.
He is
your God and He is your Father and He loves you with an everlasting love. If He
gave up His only begotten Son, Jesus for us, and He did, why would we think He would
withhold anything good from us?
Far from it, He gave us His very best, His own Son
and with Him, He gave us everything, including Himself!
The least we
can do is to believe Him and take Him at His word.
Remember the
story of the disciples in the boat during the storm, with Jesus fast asleep on
a pillow in the stern? It must have been a no joke storm for seasoned fishermen,
as most of the disciples were, to be that frantic. They woke Jesus up with
accusations “don’t you care we are perishing?” Before we give them that
“how-dare-you-say-that-to-the-Lord” look, let’s us be reminded of the many
trying situations in our lives where we've more or less voiced similar
sentiments to God…hmm!
Jesus, being the
express image of God, His Father, only did what He saw the Father doing, was in the
boat with them and had already given them His word; you’d think that would keep
them calm.
This is what He had said to them earlier…
35 On the same
day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other
side.” – Mark 4:35NKJV (emphasis mine)

The very
presence of Jesus in that boat with them should've given them the assurance
that what He told them is exactly what is going to happen, storm or no storm, they are crossing to
the other side, period! You see beloved, just like the disciples of
old, we often get so caught up in what we are going through at the moment, we
forget the promises of God to us, we also forget He is in us and with us at all
times... just as He has promised us several times in the Scriptures, yes even in our darkest moments, He never
leaves us nor forsakes us. He loves us eternally, perfectly and
unconditionally.
Beloved, what
is your Heavenly Father saying to you today? What has He promised you today?
Whatever it is, trust Him – if He spoke it, consider it done. Trust Him, He will come through for you...He always does. Blessings!
