“Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:28-31 NLT
Yes, I know it is difficult to hold onto this truth that God will sustain you with all your worries, hurt, anxiety, and fear about what’s going on, but truly believe it because it has been written and if it has been true for someone long ago, it is still true to you now.
God is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forevermore!
But how can I keep that within if I’m facing difficulty right now in this moment?
You may ask:
How can I bring food to my table if I’m laid off?
How can I pay my bills or rent if there’s no income?
I’m sick, I can’t afford to go to the doctor!
Are your worries troubling you?
Don’t let them.
Allow yourself to have this mindset that there’s always a tomorrow. And that tomorrow can be better than your today.
But allow God to hold your worries and rest in Him.
Yes, we all, and I mean EVERYONE, has finally been given time to truly rest in Him, but what have you been doing to help you draw closer to God during this quarantine?
Take this time to get to know God more than just a supreme being or ruler above all. Let Him take care of you as a FATHER, talk to Him as a FRIEND, and remember that even so, He is still GOOD.
Even if the world around us may be crashing right before us, He is still good.
And even though we may not be able to see positive in such crucial moments, He is still good.
I can let you in on a snippet of my personal life: while I may still happily smile and go on with my life as if nothing wrong is happening, I too am dealing with situations beyond my control that have been affecting me. Situations that do have the ability to crush my spirit.
But even so, He is still good.
I came to the conclusion that no matter what wrong may be happening in my personal world, or in this physical world, He will always be good.
Allow that to sink in as well.
God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good.
While we may have so many reasons to fret and be worried, know that He who holds the stars in the sky and names them one by one also holds you in the palm of His hand and considers you worthy of being taken care of.
He called you by name, He has you covered, He is still in control.
And whether or not things may turn out for the worst, remember that He is still good.
Even so, til the ends of this earth.
“For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Psalms 27:5, 13-14 NIV
