Do you trust in the power of God or in the power of men?

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:
“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.
- Isaiah 30:15

Assyria attacked the people of Israel, and God, through the prophet Isaiah, encouraged the people to trust in Him and in His power.
God would act and deliver them; they only had to wait and trust. But no, the people placed their trust in Egypt and hoped that the power of Pharaoh would protect them. They preferred to see something happen immediately.

God simply asked them to rest and trust in Him and in His power, but the people preferred to see action rather than wait.

Many times we are like that. We know that God is all-powerful and that we can trust Him to fight our battles and bring justice. But we choose to act on our own, to solve things our way, or to trust in people who seem strong, because it appears to be the quickest solution. We are not very good at waiting and trusting.

However, trusting in God is always the best option. He knows what is best for us in every situation, and He loves us more than anyone else, so He only wants what is good for us. Are you in the middle of a battle or a difficult situation? Choose to trust in God, in His love for you and in His infinite power. Under His guidance, the solution will be the best one, and you will live in peace, filled with His peace.

You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
- Isaiah 26:3

Yesterday's Word

No problem will separate you from the love of God

God loves you. Maybe you have heard this phrase hundreds of times, but we should never grow tired of hearing the truth. God loves us with an everlasting love, and His love endures through any adversity.

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
- Jeremiah 31:3

Just as God reaffirmed His love for the people of Israel through the prophet Jeremiah, He wants you to never forget that His love is eternal.

However, there are moments when certain circumstances in life can lead us to forget this simple fact: if we are in Christ, nothing can separate us from that great love God has for us. In those moments, remember what the following verses say.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Romans 8:38–39

Is there an illness trying to make you forget this reality? Do you have a family, work, or financial problem that tries to keep you from feeling God’s love for you? Hold on to God! Come to Him with an open heart and ask Him to renew you in His love. He will never stop loving you. Draw near to Him to feel His presence and His love again.

There is no problem you face in this life that is great enough to separate you from the love of God. Do you trust in this?

Day Before Yesterday's Word

The Lord hears the helpless

You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
- Psalm 10:17

Suffering seems to be a constant companion for some people. You may have also gone through times when tears were more frequent than smiles.

Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
I will now arise,” says the Lord.
“I will protect them from those who malign them.
- Psalm 12:5

In the midst of all the pain and oppression we face, God is present. He hears the cry of those who suffer and gives new strength to those who feel helpless. God is just, God is faithful, and He works at the right time. He rises to defend the needy and answers their cry.

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
- Isaiah 40:29–31

The wicked may think they are invincible, but God’s justice will prevail and reach them. The day will come when all oppression will cease, and the great Defender of the helpless will rise to reign forever. Keep crying out with faith and trust!

The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
- Psalm 116:5–7
