Because He Promised

From: New Life Daily Devotions - Steve Arterburn

Psalm 121:1-2 "I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From where comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth."

It’s a promise that is made over and over again in the Bible: Whatever "it" is, God can handle it.

Life isn’t always easy. Far from it! Sometimes, life can be very, very difficult, indeed. But even when the storm clouds form overhead, even during our most stressful moments, we’re protected by a loving Heavenly Father.

When we’re worried, God can reassure us; when we’re sad, God can comfort us. When our hearts are broken, God is not just near; He is here. So we must lift our thoughts and prayers to Him. When we do, He will answer our prayers. Why? Because He is our shepherd, and He has promised to protect us now and forever.
