God Will Not Abandon You

Responses to God's Faithfulness

God is Faithful

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Obedient Faith

Deuteronomy 4:25-31 New International Version
25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. 27 The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress, and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord, your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

For Reflection

In our younger years, we are usually preoccupied with survival. We attack the pressures of developing a loving and productive marriage, raise children, hold a job, and support ourselves and our family.  In all the chaos of living, we sometimes forget that we are not solely responsible for conquering all that life throws at us. We forget that God has promised that all things will turn out for good. We try to do it all by ourselves.

As we grow older, we begin to understand and yearn for the peace that can only be experienced when we rely on the grace of God. God will be there. We realize that God has never abandoned us.

Pray

Pray so that you will be able to understand that you are not alone in your life struggles.  Pray, and God will guide and comfort you. Pray, and find rest in God.
