He has made a declaration and a pledge, which should not be taken lightly. He will never abandon us, and He will never change from being His omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Even if the people around us and the rest of the world are deceitful or forget to keep their promises, He never will.

​

Even after our hair has greyed, our knees have become feeble, and our faces have wrinkles, the Lord loves and cares for every one of us.

​

Life can be challenging at times. At times, people question how they can ever get through a difficult situation. Individuals may look to different things to give them the strength to keep going.

​

God never promised us all happy days, but He promised that He would carry us through all of them, good and bad. We must entrust everything we have to Him. When things are tough, he has the strength and skill to keep us together.

​

Unlike man-made idols, which are carved by people, set in their places by people, mute, and unable to save, the Lord has been His people's maker, keeper, and sustainer. And He will faithfully keep His promise to carry His people throughout all our trials.

​

God is the nourishment you need to keep your energy up for this life. Hold onto Him and trust Him. Allow God to take you by the hand and carry you through life's storms.
