PROMISE FOR DIFFICULT TIMES
"When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them." (Isaiah 41:17)
We appreciate God for He is a God of love, and He has a special interest in His children who are going through difficult times. God, in the above verse offers special promise to the needy. The result then is that the lack they suffered has put them in a situation where their tongue failed. That could mean anything from shattered dream, setback in exams, loss of dear ones, accidents, life threatening sickness, to financial crisis. And yet it wasn’t that you did not try. You tried but failed! You did your best, but it was not good enough.
God offers to help you at such trying periods of your life. He promises not to forsake you no matter what. The challenges you face as young people today are very many. We face different types of temptations each day. But no matter how tough or challenging the situation may be, God has promised us that He will not forsake or forget us. Cheer up then and go about your task with this blessed assurance that God will not abandon you in your most challenging moments. Praise the Lord!
Challenge: God is closer to you than you think.
Prayer: Please help me Lord to lean on You.
