“God Will Take Care of You”
Thursday, June 27, 2024Key Verse
“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory” (I Peter 1:8).
Text — 1 Peter 1:6-11
Message
The challenges of life which are a common experience to humanity sometimes come with sorrow and pain. The enormity of trials, temptations, persecutions, bereavement, failure in examinations, financial constraints, illnesses, delay in school admission, among others, are not marks of abandonment by God. Civillia Martin wrote the lyrics of the hymn below after being inspired by her little son that God would provide for them:
God will take care of you,
Through every day, o’er all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.
The Scripture is replete with God’s interventions for people who had challenges that were turned into testimonies. Examples include: Joseph, Jacob, David, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Even in our contemporary times, immeasurable acts of God attest to His unflinching love and care for His children. Our text enjoins us to keep a joyful disposition, trust in God for His interventions as situations unfold in our Christian journey, bearing in mind the Lord’s return.
