Today's reading is from Psalm 146 verses 5 and 6:
But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,
whose hope is in the LORD their God.
He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.
He keeps every promise forever. Psalm 146: 5-6 [NLT]
Are you believing God for something? If you are like me, you probably have now stopped trying to do things in your own strength. You are completely surrendered to God’s will -meaning, you live not by what you see and hear but by faith in the promises of God.
However, if truth be told, living by faith is not always fun. What do you do when everything goes opposite to what God has clearly promised? What do you do when no answers come despite His promise to answer us whenever we call on His Name?
The answer is, look no farther! Just look up into the heavens. Look at the ground you are walking or standing on. Look at the people around you. Think of the vast waters in the ocean and everything in them. These are great things which no man has created but only God has made them. There is no greater visual evidence that He is able to handle your situation.
The same God who has made all these great things, is the same God saying He keeps every promise He has ever made from the Book of Genesis to Revelation. He does not keep some of them nor does He keep them some of the times. Rather, He keeps all of them and all the time - that is, forever.
Since it’s impossible to please God without faith, today I want to challenge you to receive every promise God has given you by faith even if it doesn’t make any sense.
Remember what we have already learnt about singing and praising when in trouble, even if we don’t feel like it? That’s what we call trusting in the Lord.
