When we face uncertainty in life, and it will come, because we never know what we will have to deal with in the future, we make our plans, but they can change with one phone call, doctor’s visit, or financial crisis.
But as followers of Christ, we have something specific in an uncertain world: We have Jesus!
Isaiah 41:10; “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Look at all that God gives to us in the uncertainty of life: I do not need to fear because…
- The Lord is with us—right now! No matter what you are facing, He is with you. Remember: “He will never leave us, nor forsake us.”
- He is our God! He is Omnipotent, which means He is all-powerful!
- He will strengthen you because when we are weak, He is strong!
- He will help you! Many things in life will not help us but will hurt us. But the “Lord is our refuge and strength a very present help in the time of trouble.”
- He will uphold you with His righteous right hand. At times, we will not be able to hold ourselves up. People will not be able to hold us up. But the Lord can hold us steady in an uncertain world!
“Fear not, for I am with you…”
Thank you, Lord, for Your presence in days of uncertainty!
