“He knoweth the way that I take.” Job 23:10
We have all been in the position when we have asked, “What on earth is going on, for Heaven’s sake?” We have all tried to work out what is happening in our lives and if and how we will ever get through the situation we find ourselves in. At the time of writing this, the whole world is facing and battling through a a number of wars and a worldwide financial crisis. Millions have been infected by the covid virus and already people have multitudes have either died or became very ill. There will be few of the almost 8 billion people on this planet who have not wondered if they, their families and loved ones, or even their country’s population, will endure and survive what has and is happening all around us.
BUT YEHOVAH… That simple phrase contains a tremendous length, breadth, height and depth of meaning, of power and of promise for each of us – if we will put our faith and trust in Him. John 10:10 tells us that it is the thief who comes to steal, to kill and to destroy – BUT Yehovah sent Yeshua to bring and to give us LIFE, and that “more abundantly.” Yehovah does not come to bring war, death, destruction, plague, famine or peril, but He will defeat all these things which can and do, at times, come against us and will work them together for good in our lives as we learn to trust in and rely upon Him. Our Heavenly Father is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient; that is all-powerful, ever-present and all-knowing. He is never caught off-guard and unaware, nor baffled as to how He will turn around everything that seems negative and impossible. He will work all these negative things together for our good and bring us out of them in victory. The Scripture assure us that He knows the plans He has for us, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11).He will deliver you out of whatever crisis – or crises – you may be facing now, or at any time in the future. So, look forward with hope, for your future has been guaranteed by your Heavenly Father.
