The future will always be uncertain. While we may enjoy the illusion of safety, even in those moments we're only a heartbeat from eternity. That's why we must place our trust in God, knowing "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Heb 13:8)
God hasn't lost control of our circumstances. He is our shield and defender-- even when chaos rages around us. Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my rightous right hand."
Now. more than ever, we should pray for and encourage each other daily. The writer of Hebrews reminds us, "Let us not give up meeting together" (10:25). We need to be nutured spiritually through our churches and other fellowship groups.
We can find comfort in Scripture's promises that our heavenly Father cares about every detail of our life. In Matthew 10:29-31 TNIV, Jesus said, "Are not two sparrow sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs od your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." We can truly be confident about the future when we have this wonderful assurance.
