To have unwavering faith



When you are in difficult times, do not doubt about God.
When you place your trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, Jesus will build a strong relationship with you. He will plan a spiritual connection that will be close and permanent. In Hebrews 13 : 5 He promised that He will never desert you nor will He ever forsake you. We can fully trust His pledge to be with us always because we have also been assured that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (v. 8).

If we think that the Lord has suddenly abandoned us when difficulties arise, then our faith foundation is broken. We are indecisive, usually because our circumstances seem so dire. One fact remains - Jesus and His promises have not changed - He is present, providing for needs, and working good out of all situations every second of our lives.

Hebrews 13:1 - 8
Keep on loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow-prisoners, and those who are ill-treated as if you yourselves were suffering. Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you”. So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”


Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.
