"The unknowns of our future earthly circumstances can threaten to overwhelm us, but the reality for those who are in Christ Jesus is that the future is burgeoning with God’s kingdom that is prepared for us from the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:34).
Your future includes manna. It will come. There is no sense devising future scenarios now because God will do more than you anticipate. When you understand God's plan to give future grace, you have access to what is arguably God's most potent salve against worry and fear. (Ed Welch, Running Scared)
Who is more willing to help his children than our heavenly Father? His steadfast love is better than life (Psalm 63:3). He turns to us according to his abundant mercy (Psalm 69:16). “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
This kind of love will not let us go.
God’s indomitable, unflinching resolve to love us keeps our hearts anchored in his grace today, tomorrow, and forever."
