Fact: God sacrificed His son for us.
Fact: If God sent His very own son to die for my sins, He will certainly provide all of my needs. If he didn't care what happened to me, Jesus never would have died.
I was sitting in Starbucks this morning, doing devos in between my two classes and I was reading my book on the names of God. Today's name was Miqweh Yisrael, which means The Hope of Israel. The whole chapter was about how we can hope in Christ and trust in him. And Ms Spangler started talking about how God sacrificed His own son for our good, so why would He suddenly stop caring? She said, "Hope is the great stabilizer. It steadies us in times of fear and difficulty, not because we know that everything will turn out as we want, but because we know that God is trustworthy. Hope is what helps us stay the course regardless of circumstances." I had never thought about it like that! If God loved me enough to send His son just so He could die for me so that I can go to heaven, why would be like "Actually, just kidding. I don't love you that much anymore. I think I'll just leave you to do your thang now." God has had our back since the beginning of time, and you know what? He isn't about to stop now! So I can enjoy the perfect peace of God and keep my mind steadfast in Him, remembering that He works out everything for the good of those called according to His purpose! : )
