Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.”
You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.
I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety. - Psalm 4:6-8 (NIV)
When we are in need, we go to the Lord – as well we should. However, there is something far better that God give us who believe in Him – greater than any tangible, physical blessing He can bestow. God gives us joy, peace and security. We can step out in confidence each day, knowing the Lord is with us and in control.
No matter what we’re facing today, we have God – our loving, heavenly Father, Who not only loves us but is Himself love (1 John 4:16). And, as John pointed out, “Perfect love casts out fear” (1 John 4:18, ESV). It is this perfect love that emboldens us with the knowledge that “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13, ESV).
Today, let me encourage you to shuck off whatever is weighing you down. Grasp tightly to God through Jesus, resting easy in His love, grace and peace. Know that He is with you always, regardless of how things may seem.
