Thoughts on Today’s Reading

Grace, mercy and love from Christ to you.

In a world filled with distorted news and conflicting opinions, we often struggle to know whom to trust or what to believe. The timely intricacy of God’s work in Israel’s history reminds us that only God’s words can be fully trusted. God’s powerful activity in the past truly can comfort us believers as we face countless details of a future we cannot fully plan or grasp.

The Bible is filled with promises God has made to His people. As to God’s children, though the details of the future may remain cloudy, God’s sovereign control and His certain plan offer us proper perspective. God will do whatever it takes to fulfill every detail of every promise He makes. God’s faithfulness emboldens us to walk through the doors of opportunity He opens as we serve Him and others. God orchestrates a constellation of details to accomplish His plans in our lives.
