He’ll be there with us
Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. (Daniel 3:17 NKJV)
When I look at some of the men and women in the Bible, at a quick glance they seem to be so confident, so certain of everything.
For example, look at the three Hebrew men who were about to be thrown into the fiery furnace. It might look like they were glowing with confidence in front of the head of the largest empire of their day, certain that nothing could happen to them in that fiery furnace. But could it be that they also battled fear and the uncertainty of what would happen?
You may feel afraid of what you’re facing. You may not see anything you can do to fix the situation you’re in. But God’s intervention in your life isn’t based on your self-confidence. It’s based on your belief in Him and your trust in His unlimited power, goodness, and love. You don’t have to believe that what you want to happen will always happen. You just have to believe that God can bring about what is best in His time and His way, because you trust Him.
Faith knows what is most important to know: God will never leave you nor forsake you.
None of us knows what lies ahead. Our faith can’t be built on expected results that make sense to us. What faith knows is that Jesus will not leave us comfortless; He’ll be there with us. [1]
Life with God is not immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties. – C.S. Lewis
