Stand on His Promises

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence. (2 Peter 1:3 ESV)

The Lord has called each of us to His kingdom for such a time as this. No matter how you feel, or what your gifts are or aren’t, you are meant to be here on this earth at this time. You’re valuable to the Lord and His work and His plans for the future. What you have to offer and contribute, and the way that you’re going to shine His light, is going to make a difference.

No matter what challenges or tests you may face, you may be tempted to be discouraged or lose hope, but just remember, God’s Word never fails. You are called, and chosen by Jesus Himself, and that is cause for praise and joy! It’s good to keep this in mind when we face problems and obstacles, and pain and suffering in life, which of course we will.

You know the Lord will come through for you, but He doesn’t do everything right away, all at once. He knows when we need to abound and when we need to abase. He knows when we need to endure and stand on His promises by faith. He works with us in His great wisdom and love.[1]

The state of the world today can look hopeless. Our individual lives can be overwhelmed with hopelessness. But there is a God, and He truly loves us and offers us real hope. With Him there is a solid hope that can serve as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. - Mike Bennett
