God is love.

Don’t breeze past that statement. Think about it. It isn’t just that God loves you. Love is part of His being.

God is sovereign. He created all and sustains all. Everything is part of an unimaginably immense tapestry, intricately interwoven.

God is our Father. We are adopted into His family, He is our protector, our guide, our Sovereign Father Who is Love.

Yes, the world is wicked. Yes we all face difficulties and pain and hardship and confusion and sickness and weakness and all sorts of suffering.

Jesus warned we would have troubles. He also promised He would never abandon us.

Look at your circumstances. Do you view them with fear or dread or anxiety? Or do you see them as opportunities for God to work in and through you to help others as well as yourself?

All that the enemy means for evil, God works out for good. Our cognitive abilities aren’t sharp enough to perceive everything the Lord is doing. Instead of trying to figure out all the whys and hows, we should just surrender to God and trust Him to work it all out.
