I think I just heard a huge sigh of relief. God is our Father as well, beloved, and He offers the same assurance to us. How can we be sure? Jesus said, “I am not alone, for my Father is with me” ( John 16:32). God might make you wait, but He never makes you wait alone. “He will never leave you nor forsake you” ( Deuteronomy 31:6).

Have you tried Him? Then you know: God always has your back. When we take God at His Word and trust what He has promised, it “proves true” (ESV) and “passes the test” (EXB), every time. He does His part because He said He would. We do our part because we desperately need Him. I tell that ugly fear, “God is here.” I stand still, breathing quietly and listening intently, until I sense God’s presence, just as His Word describes. Then, I take His promise and run with it. When fear starts to creep into my heart or skitter up my spine, I turn to His Word and read it aloud: “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear I will help you” ( Isaiah 41:13).

Not in a blacksmith’s forge-in real life. We know this, not only because He says so, but also because His Word has been “tested” (NASB) and “fire tried” (DRA). But God? Never.Įven the finest diamonds have flaws, but God’s Word is “pure” (CJB) and “perfect” (NIRV). And I hate to even think of how many times I’ve neglected to follow through on my own promises. Not my parents, not my teachers, not my siblings, not my friends, not even my darling husband. I don’t know a soul who has kept every promise they ever made. Want to know how “you can trust this” (ERV)? Because “God keeps every promise he makes” (GNT). “Everything God says” (CEV) and “every word that God speaks” (ERV) is perfect, finished, complete. Not some words, not most words, but “all God’s words” (CEB) are counted here. I love how the Bible makes this crystal clear. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. When it comes to flawless, there’s only One place to look. All the Cover Girl in the world can’t hide my many imperfections-inside or out.

“Ah,” the makeup pro said at last, smiling at her work. I sat very still while a fine mist of ivory liquid swept across my skin. It was a weird sensation, being airbrushed for a video shoot. Categories: Blog, Your 50 Favorite Proverbs
