When we bow our knees to the Lord our God, knowing He has sacrificed so much for us through His son Jesus, seeking His will for our lives in faith, He will answer us and give us what we need. He will not let us suffer more than we can bear.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”

(2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

Seek riches that moth cannot corrupt and rust cannot consume, for real riches, true eternal riches, come from God. The rich store gold in their purses and goods in their homes, but the wise, who seek God’s will, store eternal riches in mansions that will not fade.

Take comfort in God knowing the rich have received their reward. Our reward is yet waiting for us in heaven, and neither man nor demon will be able to take away what God has generously given to us, His elect.

Count it all joy when God allows us to wait for His answer to our requests. His plans for us will not fail, for He purposes His will so that we glorify Him in all things through our patient endurance. Therefore, brothers and sisters, be of cheer; again, take comfort in God.

If God did not spare His only Son Jesus Christ, who bore our sins on the cross on our account, what more would He do for us, since He considers us heirs to all things? He would do anything for us; His dominion is everlasting, and we will one day reign with him forever.

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us.”

(1 John 4:18-19)

No manner of fear should shake us from our faith in God, for He is the bulwark against which our enemies will fight. No one can resist Him. He is kind to the kind, and He is merciful to the merciful. He will pour His wrath upon the unjust.

Whatever plans that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, has for us, will come to naught. He has no power over us, for we no longer walk following the course of this world. His time will soon be at an end.

Bless the Lord our God, for He is good. Bless Him and His holy name. His mercies will never fail. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He will repay. Perfect love casts out fear.

Blessed is our God, who saved us from the penalty of sin and has given us true freedom from iniquity through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. Blessed are we to know salvation; blessed are we to know that we will one day live and reign with Christ forever.

Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah
Our God is a God of salvation,
and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.

(Psalms 68:19-20)

Who set the boundaries of the sky, separating it day from night? Who says to the waves, “To this shore and no further shall you go?” Who brought life to this world, raising the branches of the trees in worship to its Creator?

Who made the whale to drift back and forth in the ocean, proclaiming God’s glory? Who lifted the wings of the eagle, for it to waft along the mountains, honoring Him who gave it life? Who set the lion on the jungle’s throne to reign as a witness to its Maker’s majesty?

Only our God can raise and lower mountains by His Word. Only our God can give rain in due season. Only our God can purge the wicked from this world. Only our God can give and take life. Blessed be the Lord.
