| “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.” |
| —Isaiah 12:2a |
Even though we like to believe we can thoughtfully and carefully plan out our lives, the truth is we cannot see beyond this very moment in time. We simply do not know what our future truly holds.
The only certainty in our lives is the reality of God’s promises. What God has declared in His Word will truly come to pass.
No matter what you may be experiencing in your life at this moment, God has a plan for you. He has a pathway for you to follow. All you need to do is trust Him.
The Prophet Isaiah declares to his people this very truth when he writes in Isaiah 12:1-6:
In that day you will say: “I will praise you, Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me.
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.”
With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.
“Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
God longs for us to trust His mercy, grace, and love. As we begin this day, no matter what our circumstances might be, let’s consciously decide to trust Him to love and care for us.
