One-minute read.
God’s constant support and provision help us trust Him. Isaiah conveys his message using words from the Song of Moses (Exodus 15). Relying on the Lord for strength gives us the courage to overcome our fears and seek and serve Him. The more we know scripture, the better we can apply it, recalling God’s promises and standing on the firm foundation of His word.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
My mother instilled the above Proverb into my life, giving me a 5×7 framed print that sat beside my bed for years. At first, I didn’t understand the words’ message, but as time passed and life happened, I began to rely on the promise more and more. Now, the sentence brings me comfort, joy, and peace as I trust in the Lord to make my paths straight.
Rely on God for salvation. Let Him strengthen you for the battle. Christ gave us victory with His death and resurrection; we need not fear man. Live fearlessly for the Savior.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for saving us from ourselves, strengthening us for the battle, and giving us victory in Christ. Please help us live boldly for You, not letting fear stop us from accomplishing our purpose.
IJNIP. Amen
