KEEP LOOKING UP!

During times of uncertainty, doubt can creep in like a thief in the night, causing us to wonder, is God really standing by. Such doubt can be vanquished with this truth: The same God who is with us during joyful times is the same God who is with us in uncertain times.  

The Bible provides constant reminders that God will never abandon His Children. Here are truths we can be certain of: 

“God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So, we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.” Psalm 46:1

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:7

“The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” Psalm 121:7-8

“The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.” Psalm 29:11

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

“So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Child of God, keep looking up, for The Lord is near. He is standing by!
