God’s never-failing promises

The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. (Psalm 9:9 NLT)

If you are looking ahead with some trepidation, it’s understandable. Maybe as you look back you see the struggles, uncertainty, and perhaps even events that have shaken your life.

The sorrows and disappointments that at times seemed overwhelming may still weigh on your heart. That can make the future seem intimidating.

Here’s the good news! As Paul expressed it, “Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound.” (Romans 5:20)

In spite of all those things that can turn our lives upside down without warning, we have God’s never-failing promises that He will be right there at our side to guide and empower us and to bring His peace, comfort, and faith to fill our hearts.

He’s there to help us carry on through the storms and struggles of life. He is with us to guide us to the hope and light of the new day with Him. We can use even the difficulties we encounter to strengthen us and help us move forward. – Maria Fontaine [1]

As a wilted flower may need only a few drops of water to return to life, so a tired and disappointed heart may need only an unexpected word and a hug to return to beat. - Filippo Alosi
