I KNOW THE LORD WILL FIND A WAY FOR ME

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen,” (NASB, Ephesians 3:20-21).

Jesus knew what it was like to live with limited resources, to have others question His actions, and to be rejected by those He sought to serve. Yet in spite of such opposition, He didn’t let circumstances affect His trust in the Father.

We’re called to follow Jesus’ example by believing that God is able to do what He’s promised. For instance, the Hebrew writer assures salvation for whoever requests forgiveness in the name of Jesus: “Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them,” (NASB, Hebrews 7:25) – His death on the cross satisfied the demands of divine justice for all our sins. God will pardon everybody who has genuine faith in His Son and will make each one a new creation. No matter what trouble someone may have caused, the Lord invites that person to draw near in faith and receive the gift of everlasting life.

God also promises to establish in truth everyone who trusts in Him. Through His Spirit and the Word, we start to see things as our Father does, which helps us understand what pleases Him.

By believing God keeps His promises, we grow stronger in our faith and gain peace. Hardships that would once have thrown us off course lose their power. Hope replaces discouragement, and trust overcomes doubt. Next time trouble comes, focus on God’s promises and ability to care for you.
