Because He's Our Loving Father

March 25

We live in perilous times. The daily news unfolds reports of one upheaval after another in far-flung corners of the globe and within our own borders. Governments and institutions that once seemed unshakable seem to be teetering.

Any thinking individual cannot but ponder current events in the light of eschatological predictions. We know what Jesus and the prophets have said about the last days, about the events that foreshadow His return, and we think we see them in ever-increasing numbers, with ever escalating frequency.

But we also know that our God is faithful. We know His promises are yea and amen. We know we will not be abandoned to the desperate times that are coming upon the earth for He has assured believers throughout the pages of scripture that His protection will shield us from all harm.

The prophet stated it comfortingly in Isaiah 54:10 where he said of the Lord’s care, “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor My covenant of peace with you be removed…” Because He's our loving Father, His compassion will not fail; we will always be secure in His hand.
