December 29
God doesn’t want His people to fret. He wants His children to go forward in confidence—confidence that is borne of the knowledge that Jesus has promised, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” This wonderful promise was quoted by Paul in Hebrews 13:5.
We can 'know that we know' yet today that Jesus will always be with us, for His promises stand forever. In Matthew 24:35, Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” The Word of God is surer than anything earthly, on which man can build his hope.
With the promises of God in mind, and with the awareness that every word God utters is true, Jesus says to His followers in Matthew 6:34, “Don’t worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.” Though we may have trials and tribulations that assail on any given day, the promises of God will stand on the day of testing.
We needn’t worry or be concerned about the ‘What if?’ concerns that stir in our minds. We need not fear about the foes described in Psalm 91—pestilence, destruction, war, etc.—for “…There shall be no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near thy dwelling, for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways…” Stand on His Word and we will not faint with fear.
