Hebrews 13:5 (Amp) ...for He has said, "I will never (under any circumstances) desert you (nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless), nor will I forsake or let you down or relax my hold on you (assuredly not)!"
If ever we're tempted to think we've got to deal with something on our own, or that we are alone, it's good to get this verse out and read it over and over till it becomes part of us, that we're definitely not alone. Whatever this year brings the one thing we can be sure of is that God is with us every second of it. We are children of the Most High God and He has given us His Holy Spirit, His love, joy and peace and His own faith in order to overcome every obstacle and bring down every stronghold.
He's assured us we can do whatever He gives us to do through Christ who strengthens us, that we can have what His word says we can have, that His goodness and mercy are following us every day of our lives. He's promised to never abandon us or leave us without support but has declared He will be our strength and shield, our very present help in trouble if it comes. (Psalm 91:15)
In light of all of that Jesus tells us not to have a fit of the 'what ifs', because our Father knows we need all the things we're tempted to fret about and He's promised to provide them according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)
Our part is to seek Him and His way of doing things first, and all these other things will be added to us without our striving, or worrying! (Matthew 6:33)
So when the world struggles we can remember we are already citizens of heaven and it's provision, and as we keep looking to our Heavenly Father we'll know His peace because in Him there is no darkness or lack and He'll never leave us alone. 😊 Thank You Lord. We're so grateful.
