Promises given by Jesus to His church. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. That is why we never give up.
Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet, they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So, we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. I praise God for what He has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid. You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. So where does our hope come from? From the government? NO! Our hope comes when we stand on the promises of God as He has written in the Bible. Today is the time to be in the Bible, day to day, and not listening to the media that can only put fear in you and give you a FALSE peace. God is the only FAITHFUL AND TRUE! Trust in Him.
