Most of the decisions we take in life are determined by the limited experience we have, based on the interactions with people in the world. Our fear and apprehension, doubt and disbelief are the outcome of the frustrations we face due to people’s failure in not keeping their words that they promise. This needs not influence our relationship with and trust in the Lord, for He never fails those who count on His word and rely on Him, as prophesied through Isaiah: “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” (Is 40:8). When it comes to trusting God and depending upon His word, we need to be strong and adamant, entirely putting all our faith in Him, as encouraged by the author of the Book of Hebrews, that will definitely bring us the great reward that awaits us: “the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” (Heb 10:35-36). May God strengthen our faith by holding our hands when we grow tired, weak, and in need of lifting or support, to keep us stable in enduring patience and perseverance.

Abba, Thank You for inviting us to totally trust in Your word. Let Your Spirit make us hold fast to Your words and continue doing Your will, In Jesus’ Most Reliable Name, Amen.
