KEEP TRUSTING HIM, THE BEST IS STILL AHEAD (Friday, 13th March 2026)
Text for Today: Ps. 23:1-6 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” (vs. 4).
Where you are now is not the end of your story. God knew there would be times where we would be so enveloped in fear and uncertainty that we would lose sight of His goodness. Those circumstances so difficult would often cause us to question whether God really loves us or can be trusted moving forward. The Israelites were no exception. They were forced to endure desperate circumstances when there seemed to be no end in sight. But God gave them a reason to trust Him saying, ”For I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).
We can expect to not always make sense of what God is doing in the present, but we can hold onto the promise that God has great things in store for our future, plans to prosper us and give us purpose. Plans to give us hope when we’re on the verge of giving up and a future despite our darkest days. When we struggle to believe the best is ahead, it’s often a result of crippling pain and loss in the wake of our past. In the Bible, there was a man named Job who had lost everything: His fortune, his health, his home, and every one of his children. However, God took note of Job’s faith in spite of his suffering and “the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before…the Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part” (Job 42:10,12). The pain of our past is an opportunity to see God’s power. Keep holding on to your trust in God and see how He will turn things around for you.
You are a Champion!
