Confidence in God
I recently read an article about having
confidence in God, even in the midst of crisis, change, and
uncertainty. The author wrote of the fear the disciples experienced
during Christ's trial and crucifixion. Jesus promised them peace,
but they experienced something vastly different. Yet, when they
encountered the risen Savior, He again promised them peace. Though
He would not be with them bodily, He would never abandon them. What
a great promise!
We
are in the midst of Springtime and have just celebrated Easter.
Spring reminds us that there are better days ahead (at least for
those of us who enjoy warm weather). Easter reminds us that Jesus
has conquered sin and death through His resurrection.
We have hope because of Him. We have confidence that,
no matter what today may bring, He is in control and He is at work.
When we go forth to share the gospel, we know
that He has promised to be with us and to bring forth fruit. We
have confidence because of Who He is. His promises are always sure.
