You, 2009, and God

What do you suppose 2009 will hold for you? Tough economic times? Divorce? Health problems? Job loss? Kid issues? The list of potential threats to your well-being goes on. But does the Bible have anything to say to us about these and other possible adversities?

No doubt, it does. God's Word is stuffed with "super-sized" promises of divine care and intervention. Here are some things to know about God that you can gnaw on in your cranium whenever you don't know what to do about the problems you face:

  • God's POWER is off-the-scale. Putting your full trust in Him means you never have to worry...He's got you covered. Check out Isaiah 41:10 and let this promise rock your world.
  • God's FAITHFULNESS is more certain than the sun rising every morning. You can rest assured that He remains true to us even when we're not true to Him. Look at Numbers 23:19-20
  • God's PRESENCE is always with us. No need to ever wonder where He went or if He knows our problems or hears our prayers. Never again do you have to entertain the thought that God forgot about you. He promises He won't. Go get a bible and find Isaiah 49:14-16, then just say WOW!
  • God's GOODNESS is as fresh as ever. His goodness collides with us everyday. Have you noticed, or are you too caught up in life to see it. Remember, the Bible's book of James tells us that "Every good gift comes from God..." Be encouraged in your faith as you read Psalm 86:5 and Romans 8:31-32.

Finally, the best way for you to experience all of God's best is to live out two things: [1] Love God fully [2] Love others the way God loves you. This is Jesus' command.
