How will I survive?
When was the last time you felt overwhelmed and wondered "how will I ever survive this"? Hope you noticed that I asked "when" and not "if you have". We all have been in very difficult moments in our lives. You may be experiencing one right now.
I personally have lost count of the times that I felt like the world was crashing down on me. I have spent sleepless nights worrying about what I need to do in order to straighten out the situation. How will I get through this?
Worse thoughts than that are that I am doomed. Have I gone so far off the path that there is no way back to a good life? Am I destined to die in a state of desperation?
Thankfully, when I stop running the same thoughts over in my mind and just listen. I listen to that still small voice that comes to my mind. That voice comes from God the Holy Spirit. He reminds me of what I know is true. He reminds me of His Words in the Bible. He reminds me that He is with me and will preserve me. Take some time today and remember Who God is and how He will never let you go.
GOD IS OUR PRESERVER
For all that have trusted Christ Jesus to be your Savior, you are securely preserved by God. God tells us and shows us in the Bible many times that we are not to fear anyone or anything that is not Him. He is all-powerful and has chosen all those who have responded to His call.
God preserves us as He has plans for us. He will protect us and develop us in order to bring glory to Himself and good for us. Be at peace and know that the Creator of all is also your Protector.
Once you have accepted Christ Jesus as your Savior, nothing and no one can separate you from God. You cannot lose your salvation. Always know that God loves, protects and preserves you today and forevermore.
Philippians 1:6 ESV
And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Psalm 121 NIV
I lift my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep from all harm - He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
John 10:28-30 NIV
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.
