The Lord Cannot Be Anything but Faithful...

"For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you." ~Isaiah 41:13

 "When a 'lion' comes to your life, recognize it as an opportunity from the Lord, no matter how fierce it may outwardly seem. Even the tabernacle of God was covered with badger skins and goat hair. No one would think there would be any glory there, yet the Shechinal glory of God was very evident underneath the covering. May the Lord open our eyes to see Him, even in...trials, dangers, and misfortunes." (Feb. 23, Streams in the Desert, by L.B. Cowman)

 Lord, when we feel overwhelmed with life, with trials that come our way, may we know that not a hair on our head will be touched in our lion's den, but that You in Your gracious goodness, have allowed it, for Your purposes and Your glory. May we simply be your faithful servants, come what may. Sustain us, reminding us ever to keep our eyes on You. These trials are a part of eternity's bigger picture, of much that we can't comprehend...but we know you are a trustworthy and faithful God, and that should be enough.

 "But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you...." 2 Thessalonians 3:3
